Performance Showcase
You've poured your blood, sweat, and tears into building the ride of your dreams. And now the time has finally come to show your fellow Turbo magazine readers how you spent those long hours of wrenching in the garage or perhaps fine-tuning your engine on the dyno. Think you got what it takes to grace the pages of our Performance Showcase section? Be sure to submit your best quality photos (300dpi minimum) and a list of mods you've put into your ride. Send those photos to turbo@sourceinterlink.com along with Readers' Rides in the subject line.
