[QUOTE=MR2;44173403]So wait, is this the ironic "Let's pretend stance is good and we like it" thread or do people [I]seriously[/I] believe it looks good?[/QUOTE]
"My opinion is the [I]correct[/I] opinion"
It's a style. It's not meant for performance or going fast, it's just a different niche. When done right, I think it looks great. Just like a car modified for performance can look awesome, or like crap.
My next project is a Datsun Z or a pickup

Some are meant for performance being track machines that need that kind of suspension. Some are solely for cruising slowly. Some are meant to be just stationary show cars. It's a whole different culture.
I've always thought it would be so much fun to have a lowered/bagged(to normal car height) 2WD 80's Toyota Pickup with a JZ and some unsuspecting looking wide tires.
Just something clean with the old flat style grill but tons of power on the rear wheels.

Stuffing something awesome like a RB/SR/turbo L into a old Datsun truck would also be equally badass

Done right = no retarded negative camber angle, which is unlike what most stancefags do

Now that looks nice.
But whoever thinks this shit looks good, no words:

I don't think anyone does, including the builder, because that's clearly not even finished. (It's finished later on in this thread, actually. It's weird, but the build quality looked pretty high)

I assume this is it finished:

That's the point. It's the hater-mobile. The point is to build the most cringe-inducing style ever and he did it and he's happy. Believe it or not negative camber aids in handling and is an important element in suspension geometry. Ofcourse, like I said before, there are different styles in auto and they all serve their respective purposes.

I kept seeing a toyota pickup of that body style on craigslist with a 7MGE(supra motor pre JZ) and a W58 trans swapped in, basically the drivetrain of a MK3(87~) supra.

Actually you probably saw it too

... not that amount though.

That ridiculous amount of negative camber, with the rims sticking out of the tyres, that ride height and the fact that the suspension is not allowed to act or the wheel scrapes the fenders would make it useless in track situations, it is a car built with form above function.

I did, doesn't change the fact that that camber angle the Celica has would never bring any sort of handling benefit. Negative camber can have good effects on handling, of course. But there's a point where it becomes nonsense.
I don't care that it's a special snowflake "FUCK THE HATERS :DDD" mobile.
pure performance isn't the only reason to modify a car.

this thread was made so you wouldn't have to see them in the cars that look great to you thread, why are you still here?

I'm not really the biggest fan of Challengers but this one I've always had a sweet spot for.
Cannot stress enough how perfect that wheel choice and stance are for the Challenger, honestly would take an older challenger with that stance and wheel selection as well.
On the same boat, never really liked Challengers but wow that looks sweet.

Those Hiyashi Streets @ 1:46 .. mm
Anyone got any requests to see the next stupid thing I hang off my tow hook on my car? My panda bear fell off and the stuffed Oreo mascot I replaced him with disappeared, too.
