Car show category

Zthirty4NISMO · 07-05-2016, 09:34 AM

Hey all- Looking at entering my first car show with the Z this summer and am down to 2 choices to enter it in. I was thinking maybe there would be an "Import" choice, but I guess not. Maybe this isn't a typical list? Car is 100% stock aside from exterior cosmetic mods (lights, door handles, PC rims, 2014 two tone color matched) + the typical GTR start button. In my mind I wouldn't choose the Tuner category because of this, but maybe I'm wrong?

Here's the list:

Pre 50’s
50’s Classic
60’s Classic
70’s Classic
1980-1999
SUV/4X4/Diesel
Original/Restored
New Car 2000 & Up
Dealership/Business
Modified Car
Camaro/Firebird
Mustang
Tuner Car (V6 or Four Cylinder Car)
Mopar
European
Corvette
Truck 73 & older
Motorcycle

I'm guessing they put "Import" with "Tuner" since it's a very similar group. I would go with that.

New Car sounds pretty broad, and likely pit you against a bunch of Mustangs, Challengers and Camaros. Though reading the list they have their own category, so not sure what would be the other common competitors in the category.

Tuner is going to likely be a zillion Civics and STI's. Both of which are more likely to be reasonably modified, which my guess is that's something the judges would be looking for in the category.

Based on that speculation alone I'd be tempted to enter in New Car. But that's just me rationalizing it in my head with less than one cup of coffee this morning so take it for what it's worth

Tuner. Yeah there'll be tons of cheap modified Hondas, but most will be hideous beyond recognition. You got this
