The OnAllCylinders Readers’ Choice Awards are back!

Let the teens have their Teen Choice Awards. The ESPYs? Leave those for the jocks. The OnAllCylinders Readers’ Choice Awards are for gearheads like you. Once again, you have an opportunity to vote for winners in several different categories—categories you may actually care about! We’re talking best engine, best vehicle make, best current high performance car, and more.

Let your voice be heard by writing your choices in the comments section below or by voting on each individual category as it’s shared on the OnAllCylinders and Summit Racing Facebook pages. And yes, there’s a space for write-ins on each ballot, because narrowing the nominees down to four is not an easy task.

And the nominees are…

Best Performance Car Builder (Company)

Best Performance Car Builder (Individual)

Some folks are leaders.

For example, the Chevy big block gave us the 396 and 454. The FE offered us the 427 and 428. Chrysler’s B/RB series included Wedge motors and the 440. The second-generation HEMI, on the other hand, was the one and only 426 Elephant.
