SVTPerformance/Clean Tools: "Best of the Best" Competition WINNER
It’s been a little while since the end of the SVTPerformance/Clean Tools: "Best of the Best" Competition, but I’m glad to say we have a winner. It should be no surprise that due to the extremely high quality of the entries Clean Tools had a very difficult time narrowing the field own to a single car. In my mind everyone who submitted an entry to the contest is a winner because you could really see the pride they have in their vehicle. We at SVTP really appreciate the time you took to tell us all a little about your vehicle and what it means to you. However, in the eyes of the judges one entry did rise to the top. I’m proud to announce that Clean Tools has chosen long time SVTP contributor racerat (“Tracy”) as the winner of the first SVTPerformance/Clean Tools: "Best of the Best" Competition.
Tracy’s Sonic Blue Terminator is well known among those who have been part of the SVTP community. We’ve all been fortunate enough to enjoy her seemingly never ending threads about modding her car to fit her vision of what it is to be the "Best of the Best". And how could anyone who saw the details unfold forget the infamous “dealership incident”. We at SVTP really appreciate Tracy’s support to the SVTP community over the years.
Below is Tracy’s winning submission:
Why I think it's the best.
This particular car has quite a history with dealer and shop abuse that was well documented on this very message board.
It's the "best" in my opinion because through all the headaches and heartbreak, I made some awesome friends in the Mustang/SVT world who got me through the hard times. If it weren't for them, the car would be what it is today...a little show, a little more go and a whole lotta fun. :beer:

Tracy’s love for her Cobra is readily apparent to anyone who has read any of her many project update threads about it. Her level of passion and dedication for her chosen hobby is something we should all strive to achieve.

Again, I’d like to say congratulations to Tracy and thanks to all those who participated in this contest. Lastly, I’d like to thank Clean Tools for making this contest possible and helping SVTP bring it together. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
