Default What is THE BEST e series??!!

Well, this should be fun.

What do you think is the greatest e series? Lets try and be serious, no pale yellow EA's unless there is a good reason for it.

JET XR has started some talk about the topic, so lets get some nominations and then start a poll later on. Remember that what someone thinks is hot might just be, so dont slag them off!

To nominate, you must have some info on the car, and a pic, we dont want this thread to be useless!

So fire away! :

haha well if it does a good time then perhaps, but perhaps not that example..

Ok what about a top 10, just so the poll isn't huge?

1. JET XR (EL XR6)
2. Pyroay's (EL XR6)

Dick Johnson Racing EB04 - 1994 Sandown and Bathurst winner, 1995 Championship winner with John Bowe, before it was written off in 1996 after an incident with Lowndes.

Benny Gatt's EA Outlaw drag car with 351C

Glenn Seton's 1997 Championship winning EL, best E-series burnout ever :P

Street Machine's Sony Scorcher, still haven't seen an E-Series as extensively modified than this car, 7 years on.

Would it be possible for someone to perhaps post pictures of each of the cars nominated?

Would love to see how they all compare!

I thought the semi-ram-air induction was awesome

I guess I'd better throw in another opinion:

Bob Romano's EB

And "ED 351" (apart from its godawful red interior)

JETXR'S car is horn (my fav), however not the best presented overall. In that category aarons pyroay gets the points. He has done just about everything you can think of to that car.
Also dont mind that ED XR8 that was at AFD06, GUNXR8 i think it was ? ooooohh

Btw, thanks for saying our EL but it is not even close to the level of the other cars mentioned in this thread. _2:
