Since when did more tv's = better??? I've seen that car before but never commented. All of those tv's, are they necessary? Who's going to watch them? "Hmmm, I think i'll sit in front of the car and pop the hood and watch a little tv.. or should I go and sit by the fuel door?" Seems excessive and unnecessary to me.

This is nothing new. When I was younger I worked as a car stereo installer and entered in all the shows...
The cleanest install and best sound quality always lost to 20 Subs and SPL, Fishtanks in the trunks, and 200 Watt amps running at a 1/2 OHM... putting a lot of money into the stereo only counted if it was subs and amps... similar to LCD's now.
It is all about whats new...

ALL SHOW-NO GO
Man think if instead of buying 42 tvs he would have spent that money on turbos. I think the red black ext is pretty cool. If he just had a clean stock black interior with no BS and turbos or blower that thing would be sweet.
Are those rims Iforge Aero w/painted centers?

Some of you guys are forgetting that this is a show car. From what has been said here, he trailers it around. Sadly, winning shows somtimes has little to do with the usefulness of the mod. Apprently, he is winning shows and that is his goal.

Sadly most judges don't know jack. And even so, it would be hard to find ANY judge that not only knows stock cars from multiple brands but what mods to add and not to add and whats available. So the cars with the most usually win.
I bought this mag but forgot to post about it.

). Taste is a factor but sadly it is a small factor. Without repeating what 1SickLex said (and I agree with him), I'll just quote him:
What we do with our cars is one thing. What must be done to do well at shows is another. There are plenty of threads where we snicker and look down on NYWizard, but he does place and win at shows. I think that is the status quo. Look at the car in question. He beat out both Dave and Dr G. Both gorgeous GS cars with FI. I'd take Dave's car over this red one for myself but my tastes and what wins are two different things.
