[Dead91silvia]

This vote I will need to ponder... hmmm...

[MRLancaster]

This is mean. Some of my favourite 3rd gens, and I have to choose one, and put the others down....hmmm

[rkrenicki]

Is it bad that I am not going to vote for mine?

I am just honored to be in nominated, even if there is no way in hell that I would ever come out on top of either of these two

You're crazy. Your car is the only one that doesn't have any weird mis-fitments. Your car is the only factory looking one here.

You have clean, factory-like attention to detail.
Bataru has awesome power.
I have ultra rarity.


I officially abstain from voting.

[Mx4Life]

Good line-up. Was a tough choice but I am a huge fan of mods and swaps so I went with Bataru.

[Barbbachello]

Took me a while to decide but had to go with the Bataru due to the sheer amount of work

[chuckthefuk]

I cant vote for Bataru since I helped build it So I am going with the RS30.. just cool overall.

[Dead91silvia]

I still cant decide...

I like each one for different reasons...

[slowbaru]

my vote goes to the Bataru, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah LEGACY

[ryu_haneda]

Vote cast!

[kiyo1990]

Wow, this is tough! So mean to do...hmmm...

[chuckthefuk]

need more votes.. less then 40 ppl voting on a forum of 8K members.

[ryu_haneda]

...maybe the SL-i.net mag should do something for the winner and a random participant. Just sayin'.

[amgarrety]

Says the guy in charge of the magazine

[jverendia]

swap takes the cake.

[amgarrety]

Keep voting! Voting adds 10 years to your life (unconfirmed)!

[Airgne]

I was into the swap, than I seen cruise control delete.

[Bataru]

I was into the swap, than I seen cruise control delete.

it wasn't by choice. the stock one wouldn't work with the swap.
so eventually i plan on getting an aftermarket one to put in
