    What makes that Ford GT shot so special? Compared to My_Porsche's or Racingmaniac's shots its totally and completely random.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Now if it was a good shot of a Ford GT. This is just a shot that happens to have a car in it.

    just so everyone knows, since the general voting mentality here is (wrongly) how expensive the car is, a 996 cup car (my picture) is more expensive than a ford gt

    no it was sarcasm, because the general idea in these competitions is the more "oooo money" factor the more votes

    im not a sore loser, i just think its a shame when a mediocre picture (yes, you) wins because the car in it is expensive

    well, m_p, there's a fair bit of motion (shaking) blur in your photo, and racing_maniac's doesn't really do anything for me. I voted for mclaren_crazy, just because its the only photo that really does anything for me out of the entire poll

    yeah but i wasnt expecting the older 911 to be in it, it just happened plus how do you propose getting a fast enough shutter time while still getting good exposure when its almost dark outside?

    im not a sore loser trust me, its just his shot is a bit cliche and underexposed, while its not a bad photo, i just dont think it should have won and there was a lack of great pictures in this competiton (including mine)
