Very very hard decision. But I picked Counterfiend. Love that car.

**03ZX3drew** · 09-26-2007, 09:10 AM

I picked RickB. I think it is the best "flowing" car out of all of them.

**hEaT** · 09-26-2007, 09:23 AM

I'll hold my vote until Massive gets his info to you. Always loved his car.

**zetecgt** · 09-26-2007, 09:51 AM

Counterfiend FTMFW!

**Fishflinger** · 09-26-2007, 09:57 AM

Counterfiend all the way.

**2focusd** · 09-26-2007, 10:54 AM

This was very tough but I had to vote for Rick B's monster

-Brian

**paulhaskew** · 09-26-2007, 11:10 AM

voted for myself obviously... however all these cars are extremely nice

**ClintB1321** · 09-26-2007, 02:58 PM

I voted for myself, but its great to see a good batch of well modified
MK1.5's. I remember when alot of people were going ape s**t saying
the 1.5's we're ugly and had little potential, this proves that the 1.5's
can be awesome

**sleeperlove** · 09-26-2007, 03:00 PM

I don't know what to do, I am lost. All of them

**Reza** · 09-26-2007, 03:01 PM

Clint you got my vote

**ClintB1321** · 09-26-2007, 03:34 PM

thanks Reza, ill remember that

**Croc_Tease!** · 09-26-2007, 03:44 PM

I voted for the ugly grey one.

**spinwax** · 09-26-2007, 03:45 PM

I like all of them very much, but Counterfiend Paulhaskews cars are just sick... good luck.

**rejectZX3** · 09-26-2007, 04:13 PM

Haskew got my vote. Something about it I have always liked.

**polarisman14** · 09-26-2007, 04:38 PM

Haskew has my vote--i'm more about go than show...but boy is the first car gorgeous...more go!

**thefrush** · 09-26-2007, 04:43 PM

Clint all day long.

**paulhaskew** · 09-26-2007, 05:50 PM

thanks everyone thus far

**vern02svt** · 09-26-2007, 07:09 PM

this is a hard one

**chewbacca** · 09-26-2007, 07:10 PM

i voted for Paul.

Jason, I don't know where Chris has been, i don't think he has much computer access.

As far as mods go:
Engine:
FS Stage 2 turbo, Cosworth Intake and FS exhaust.

Full SVT outer.

much more i don't know.

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 09-26-2007, 08:21 PM

All the cars are fantastic, I'm not saying who I voted for though.

No offense to Massive because his car is truly great and I love the car but with the body mods it really doesn't belong in this contest (in my humble opinion) because from the outside you can't even tell it's a Gen 1.5. It looks like a nicely modded Gen 1.

**thefrush** · 09-26-2007, 08:22 PM

^^ But it's a sedan with a 2.3, so it obviously has to be a 1.5. And it is a 1.5, so I think it most definitely belongs.

Right, but if you walked past it in a parking lot you wouldn't say "Wow, look an '05 with a full SVT conversion!!". You'd say "Wow, look a sedan with an SVT kit".

My point was that it kind of sidesteps the whole point of voting for it as a gen 1.5 because it doesn't apper to be one outwardly, Besides the 2.3 was available in the '04 so thats not a dead giveaway either.

I love the car but I think it belongs in a different category, end of thread piracy
