The final Results the judges thought about what was nice and what wasnt was nothing but a bunch a crap...big ass ball of it. I talked to a lot of people that were there from redline and everybody was cool....but well what happend? 2 probes with body kits...(not molded) (not shaved) (no grahpics) (no suspension work) won ? wtf!? thats junk....that show was nothing but an import hard~on! time for people who have them...but 50$ went towards what? there pockets thats what....sorry for everybody thats gotta read this and listen to me ***** about this but us people that work on our rides day and night...burns,cuts,sore backs,losing sleep, problems, etc etc...but yet i know all the shows is not about winning cuz its not i will admit that ....its about fun but when you work so hard and then find out some judges are favoring a certain type of style and then they give them high points...that makes us very freaking mad....i dont know if anybody agrees but i just wanted to say my peace and hope other people can see from my perspective of a Rida and not a racer.......

The show was judged to spread out the points. Out of 160 points available, roughly 40 were engine related, If you didnt have engine work, clean engine, exhaust, etc there was a possiblity you didnt get many points on that portion, with only 160 available if you lose say 25 points your already down to 135 and you would have to have a perfect undercarrage, brake upgrades, etc to get that..

truerida.... the black probe that took 2nd had a fully rebuilt to stcok engine with allmost everything powdercoated, it allso had a hand build turbo system that he normaly runs at 10-11 PSI but with the addition of a NOS fogger system that is ran through the intercooler it runs at about 14 psi!! thats craaaazy it allso had a custom body kit that he custom molded for the car..sweeet.
White probe.. TONS of custom body werk, 19's, craaazy interior..ps2.. and the engine was completly chromed and polished with all Japanese internals
im knockn your ride, u know i like it, but i had to give these cars sweet judgement for the time and $ spend on making a full out costum ride

As paul stated..... Chads Black PGT is amazing. The entire interor has been redone in black Suede as well. Here is his site. http://www.angelfire.com/extreme3/gtx/index.html I have seen this car in person....it is amazing. No suspension work? Please....look into these things before you open your mouth. No Graphics? Good, a car that acutally doesnt look like **** with a bunch of stickers on it. You dont think Chad worked on that car day and night? I beg to differ....Ive seen the progress on that car as it came along. Here is a link to the videos of his engine as it sat on the stand. Im sure if Ken showed up with his '97 GTS he would have placed also...  http://www.probesport.com/tech1.html These two have put so much into those cars....its a shame you have to put Chad down just because you didnt win.
