The event is not scheduled until October, but the competition started several months ago when several hundred ROD & CUSTOM readers stepped up to battle it out in Asphalt Ego-Rama, R&C's annual invitation-only road trip/performance flog. We chose our favorite 20 and left it up to you to pick the six finalists. Today, more than 1,200 ballots later, it comes down to these six cars.
This elite group of reader-selected rods and customs will meet in California in October for a week on the road with the R&C staff. We'll evaluate each car in nine categories: acceleration, braking, cornering, driveability, engineering, people's choice, budget, mileage, and participant attitude. When it's over, one of these rodders will go home the Asphalt Ego-Rama 2004 Champion, along with the glory, honor, and cheap trophy that accompanies such victory.
Who will it be? You will find complete and exclusive coverage of Asphalt Ego-Rama IV in the April 2005 issue of R&C.
