2011 ZCON Images Savannah, GA

kevr6 · 07-29-2011, 12:08 AM

My points are conflict of interest, Understanding why there would be a class named "Modified", and continuing errors with a show that cost me just short of $300 before resort stay fees. (And I opted out of a few events)

To me this is for serious folks who "Modify" their cars. My car was also by no means dirty. When the judge was giving me tips on cleaning out the window seal he had to find the dirt to make his point. It took a second to find it.

This should not be an attack on Chris Karl, but it seems like we keep ending up here! I decided to give ZCON another chance because overall I enjoyed last years events. This year was no where as good but I still enjoyed the people and cars!! My main reason for participating though is to show.

FYI: I've removed his picture and didn't really want to post it anyway.

I could be completely wrong with my position and I'm just upset that I refinished my wheels, replaced to rear Pzero Nero tires, bought the KW V3 coilovers, the Tanabe Chassis brace, bought an extra set of headlights and paid to have them modified (plus shipping costs), had my paint resprayed at the base of each fender, had clear bra re-applied on lower areas of the body kit, had the roof done in black, bought that dumb tow hook,bought a new exhaust, bought new front sway bar links, bought the carbon fiber hamburger emblems, installed everything by myself, and paid to re-register my car all in a three week period prior to the show. It's done and that's that.

There was no dirt on Kevin's car. Any real judge would have looked at that car and given it 1st place. Even before I entered the show I told Kevin he had 1st place in the bag. The nismo was stock. It should not have been in the Street Modified category.

Most of the people there liked Kevin's car so much that they voted him for people's choice, even though he did not sign up for that show.

I agree with you Kevin, what's done is done. However, I think ZCON has lost the 370Z crowd. We were not welcomed at that show.
