As the last month of the Northern Hemisphere summer, August was big on the Speedhunting front. On top of last week’s Italian Theme, we’ve showcased an eclectic mix of feature cars over the past four weeks – from wild engine-swapped Gatebil monsters, to laid-out street machines, and everything in between.

I vote BRING BACK THE ACTUAL POLL.
Devils golf & The Quattro scirocco
190e for sure..
G37s anytime
Steve Hayward they had problems with it in the past, not sure though if it's still problematic.
GT-R. though if i could vote thrice, i'd vote for the vette and the G37 too.
GT-R for me. Just beautiful!
458 for the fun
’66 Mustang + NASCAR V8 = One Crazy Afternoon
458
Eddie’s Chop Shop ’31 Ford Model A Coupe
Lambo Experience. Loved the photos, format and story. And I'm not a Lambo Fan!
The RocketBunny equipped GT-R R35 is my favourite here.
But, where is the voting poll? That would've been easier...
Tesla model s. Pure Electric Performance.
Lamborghini Huracan. Pure Art.
The Lamborghini or the Devil's Golf.
the corvair, for the paintjob and the originality
66 Mustang or http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/08/full-drivetrain-swap-audi-quattro-vw-scirocco/. Both brilliant
C2 Corvette for sure. Has more history and pedigree as well as tasteful modifications. And isn't sponsored by any SH vendors!
Seriously, where is the "all of the above" button.
Love all of them. keep it coming!
Bulletproof Automotive x Rocket Bunny GT-R. The story behind it is an inspiration in itself.
David Uy's GT-R!
The claassics. 66 Mustang and the oh so sexy vette. That Liberty Walk 458 is something special though.
Hard choice between the Corvette and the GTR but I have to go with the Corvette. The GTR has amazing genuine parts but the Corvette has character. And I love the Lexan rear spoiler.
GTR
Love the story behind the GTR, but for me it would have to be the 190e
SeBaBunea Having a discussion is more fun, don't you think?
Steve Hayward We decided that having a discussion was a lot more fun than clicking a button!
bmw v10 volvo
BMW Powered Volvo.
The Corvette for me, hands down.
For me, it is very difficult to choose a car only from those shown; But it's harder when I have two models like the Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 and Mercedes E190 ...
On the one hand and giving more attention to traditional'll take the Mercedes, on the other hand, and this being more focused on the track, I'll take the Ferrari.
So many great this past month but my vote has to go the Corvette.
The GT-R is beautiful, one of the nicest ones I've ever seen but the so-called "inspirational" story behind it is a little too fishy for me. No average hard working 22 year old owns a car like that, let alone one with an 8 year old child. That story tries too hard to play on heart strings buts misses(IMO) because it attempts to mislead you into believing that he truly had to work for it. Maybe if there was a legitimate explanation as to where he gets the money for such an expensive project at 22 with a kid I'd be less "douche-y".
Have to be the Quattro Scirocco or the Liberty Walk 458
Hoonigan_RB I was thinking along those same lines. Glad someone was brave enough to say it.
The Big Red Corvette. I've loved that car for awhile, so it's awesome to finally see it.
the Mercedes 190 E, i'm in love..
Big Red Monster.........Corvette......Beauty and Beast all together what you need from car
Big red corvette!
Viper volvo, Quattro Sirocco or the boogie van... Hard choice!
The190 E Mercedes. As awesome as everything else is, it's just such s well presented car.
Short Back And Slides: A RWD Golf for me.
Big Red Corvette. Just beautiful.
Also, the polling system has been down for a long time! Any sign of a light at the end of the tunnel?
Brian Hobaugh's red Corvette.
Simply because it takes my favourite generation of the Corvette and turn it into a proper cornering machine. That's something that puts a smile on my face.
Definitely the Big Red Corvette. Its just so classy and mean at the same time. Like a grizzly bear at a wine tasting party.
Nothing classier than a set of DCOE's on a stout Twin-Cam 4-banger...
I vote 190e ALL THE WAY!!!
Floz Having a discussion is a lot more fun, don't you think?
Hoonigan_RB There was nothing misleading about this story. It's too bad you can't look past this and enjoy the GT-R for the great build that it is!
Mustang, then Viper Volvo, then 32 Ford
I cant decide between the Big Red Corvette and the blown Hot Rod
1. Nissan GT-R, 2. Liberty Walk 458, 3. Big Red Vette, 4. Viper Volvo, 5. Lambo Huracan
Bring back the poll
my vote is for the corvette simple and beats all the high tech cars
Legend
Wheres the poll?
This was a really good month. Everybody wins.
It has never been so hard :/
I'm not the biggest American car guy, but that Vette was done right.
The Benz! Really hard month though. Any sign of getting the poll working again?
Speedhunters Floz It is, but it's not really much of a discussion. Besides, we used to be able to vote AND have a discussion about it! I would really like to see polls back again.
big red corvette
there have been so many amazing builds during this month !!!!! im drawn to the retro stuff so I'm gonna go 1. Red Corvette, 2. Mustang with a Nascar heart, 3. 190e Merc.
The Big Red Corvette
The 190 Benz for me... But that was ah hard choice...
hard to admit , Corvette ...
The Corvette has my vote. But that viper Volvo is a close second.
Cosworth Mercedes 190E for sure
big red vette. i still havnt gotten over that car
