so...i really dont get it...like not making fun...but seriously...i dont understand why someone would do that to a car (last one)....
it looks like youve take the car...removed the axels and all, propped the tires up and set the body on them...not attatched...looks like it wouldnt make it down the road, let alone down the road at a reasonble speed under normal driving conditions...
also...the rims...y in gods name would you get them sticking out like that...from the tire i mean...i believe ive heard it referred to as "stretching" the tire...makes no sense to me..99.999999% of people i know want as WIDE a tire for a given rim as it gives them MORE contact area and MORE grip...
im serious when i say....not only do i not understand as in..i dont like the look...but i seriously cannot comprehend how that would ever make for a good performing car....and we all know what doing something to a car cause we think it makes it look faster is considered...not going to say it...might get someones panties in a bunch...but reallly...no comprende (not sure if i spelled it right lol)

do you no comprende the fact that being slammed is about being rediculously low? its a show thing, not a go thing(except on perfectly smooth roads) if you think your car is as low as you should ever go for performance, why do nascar cars sit an inch off the ground?

they are all track cars...they go on a prepped track that is made for what they are on, no driveways, speed bumps, etc...they are that way cause they go rediculously fast around corners lol...


i understand its about being rediculously low (kinda lol)...just about why you would do that to a street driven car...

how is it not practicle for a dd? That SC400 is riding on UAS bags over Stance GR+ coilovers. I can almost guarantee it handles and rides better than 95% of the Balts on here.
