Part of what I'm driving at (no pun intended) is moving cars on the track are quite a bit different then cars on a lawn, vs cars inside a building with various lighting sources, vs a studio. For example, when someone like Michael Furman takes pictures like those in his book, Motorcars of the Classic Era, each car can take a few hours to set up, searching for the best lighting, looking for the most flattering lines, etc. What level is the magazine looking for? Some look for works of art, others have no clue (or budget) for anything but snapshots, composition is center the car and get the exposure sort of close. Because of the compound curves on cars, they can be very tricky to photograph depending of the desired level of output.
