a CoTM suggestion, a more level "playing field" perhaps Options

[1970 Neun vierzehn]

I enjoy the CoTM on the home page, the competition, the voting, the nominees' presentations, and the various and sundry comments from members. But....
it seems that /6 GTs, resto-mod /6s and even stock /6s enjoy an advantage in the voting by virtue of their rarity, significance, diligent construction, and performance.
This past CoTM competition left an extremely nice, stock /4 as a runner up to a very attractive and muscular /6, though by only a handful of votes. Now I know that that beautiful green /4 can be nominated again, but as often as not, sometimes a second (or third) place finisher never gets a second chance.

Perhaps the CoTM competition could be structured so that nominees would fit into classes or categories for each month's voting. For instance, one month would be for stock or nearly stock /6s. The next month the nominees would be race/highly modified 914s. The following month the candidates would be stock or mostly OEM /4s. Another month could feature 914s w/alternative, non-Porsche engines. And yet another month the candidates would be flared, aggressive /6s and GT tribute cars.

The current CoTM of Erics' is an extremely well built and presented GT tribute that is drop dead gorgeous. Furthermore, our own Orthobizs' Parade Concours winner is certainly worthy of inclusion into the CoTM Hall of Fame, but, it would seem unfair to me to put those two cars before the membership to choose one over the other.

Am I alone in wishing to see some parity in the CoTM nominations?
