It needs bigger wheels…

A majority of people wouldn't understand why we bother with 20 year old cars with outdated technology.  I don't care how special we think our cars are, most people would see it as a waste of time, too.  Gotta think of it from both sides.

Its cool and all but the amount of unsprung weight they just added is stupid to say the least. Just imagine how much longer it will take that car to stop now.

I don't think it will see much driving time... to expensive!

It also just has a fake feeling to it... might just be me...

I think it's the crazy proportions that make it seem fake.  Here is another shot of it.

Amen to that, I'd rather see glitter-painted, diamond-tucked lowriders come back.

What I think is really funny is that there is a mid 90's Impala running around here with 26s...if that weren't bad enough, in very large lettering on the rear fenders it proudly proclaims: 26"  For many of these car's owners it's not about style, it's about bragging rights.

Does that thing have stock brakes? I can't even seem them behind that  barely larger than normal hub.
