    Polling for everyone's choice.

    Wasn't gonna do it, but I figure let's get everyone involved. Give me your choice

    This one

    With a close second to this one

    Attachment 14321

    I like the addition of the yellow/orange swirl. Gives it a more contemporary feel. But really, all four are very, very good. I'd pass on the red one simply because it is too similar to last year's. Although I guess there is something to be said for continuity.

    OK, enough internal debate. I'm sticking with my original choices.
    (Just because the voices in my head aren't real, that doesn't mean they don't have some good ideas!)

    Oh man, how could you choose? What one do you like? The lower right looks too muck like the Koni car, so for me it would be one of the other 3.

    I think the top right as it is a paint job that is not seen and there is no number on it. If the first is prefered, you need to loose the small portion of center strip on the wing.
    All are still awesome to see.

    Top right for me because it has no numbers. My second choice is the bottom left.

    Top right because of it's boldness. I would've said top-left but it reminds me of your past GTM (KONI) so the top left would really set this GTM apart from the rest!

    I would have to say the Top Right, then the Bottom Left. I would have to see the rest of the car to really nail it down though.

    I like both of the top ones but the top right has an edgier look about it. It's paint job is more creative: something you would remember if you saw it again.

    They all look great. I like the bottom left the most. I love the swoopy-ness of the stripes. It would look great as a street car (without the GTM-X, Toyo and Koni labels and number) or as a track car (with the "stickers"). The blue could be that in-your-face, eye-popping blue used on Mazda3s a few years ago, and the white could be a brilliant pearl white (I have Toyota Blizzard Pearl as white stripes on my roadster). That would really stand out on the curves of the body.

    I asked some co-workers.

    3 top left
    2 top right
    3 bottom left
    1 bottom right

    One person asked (jokingly) if the bottom left car was sponsored by South West Airlines. Now I can't shake the thought.

    Hi Gary.

    Top Left for me as well. These look really cool. Any sponsors lined up yet?

    Thanks for giving us all something new to look forward to!

    I'm a blue guy, so it's the top left for me. It reminds me of our lay out. So I could be biased.

    Bottom left. I like how the introduction of the orange and red accents sets off the other colors; very cool.

    Man Murray is just awesome! His design ideas are just awesome!! Tough choice, good luck!

    Steve

    This amazes me, when I first showed the four to the guys at work it was 90% bottom left. But here on the forum it's a compete array of opinions. I love it.

    Wait till you see a couple things that I have up my sleeve that will be unique to this build. My goal is to unveil it at the open house.

    I concur, bottom left for me. The top left and bottom right are too similar to your cast car i think. And the top right looks too simple...

    Top left. I'm a symetrical kind of guy.

    So is this gonna be like last time were you asked which one, everybody came to a concensus and then you went and did something different anyway?

    Don't know if you are going to actually make this one a race car or not, but the upper left would also be the easiest to repair.

    As much as I like the guys on this forum, and value their opinions, the final choice is based, like with my KONI build, based upon my sponsors choice which pays some of my bills.

    That makes perfect sense.

    I still like the bottom left the best, but if KONI renews, they may want continuity of design.
    Do any of the paint jobs make the car faster?

    Taz, your funny. Everyone knows the paint jod does not make it faster. Now stickers, on the other hand add around 40HP at least.

    I thought maybe he could save some weight if he used lighter colours
