Further explanation of theme, in the words of ...UH... ME:

It's a Head2Head poll this week, folks! Your car MUST be either red, or blue. One or the other.
At the end of the week, there will be two polls; one for Red, one for Blue. Winner from each
faces off for the overall win! Why these colours? It's GT, of course!


CARS: any (single-car shots only)
LOCATIONS: any
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: cars must be red, or blue

20week02rules.png


SPECIAL H2H RULES APPLY:
  • You must submit an entry with a clear side chosen. Not both.

  • You may submit one entry. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the
    change in a new reply, or in place of the original. USERS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER BOTH WILL BE DQ'd.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linking to the full-size image.
  • A preview image is not only allowed, but encouraged! However, preview images can not exceed
    500 pixels in either direction. This includes borders or drop shadow effects, keep that in mind.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • If opting to not use a preview image, and simply a thumbnail, an Honourable Mention thumb
    may be posted as well.
  • No full-size images posted in thread; your entry will be ignored.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the poll. Every fourth week, the
    poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", and the best from each poll faces off.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
SPECIAL
  • Like last week, all eligible entries will get in the poll. Next week is where the spots get limited!

I'm guessing you can't submit a photo with both a Red and Blue car, right?
 
That's a pretty solid guess right there I say!

Final Entry

I mentioned it specifically in the rules... but yes, one or the other. To keep it simple, let's keep it to single-car shots; there's less chance of running into shades of gray based on personal perception of the theme (pun intended).

Somehow I knew the Enzo'd be making an appearance, Sej! 👍
 
Arnas - Your image is too big, please use a smaller image in the thread to link to the full-size one.

I've just created a how-to for Flickr users: here you go.

I'm actually gonna get mine out of the way super-early this week. Everyone should do themselves a favour: buy this car, equip the race exhaust, and enjoy...

I plan on doing that, since the Dodge Viper is my all time favourite car. A pitty the SRT-10 model is not Premium :(
 
I decided to go a bit different with this one;
