optimoprime Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 anyone who is trying to say that making a perfomance car widebodied makes it rice obviously has never built or modded a car at all. if you seriously dont understand why they did that you should just stop commenting. in all reality attempting to talk shit about that vette just shows how little you really know about moding.(for the dumbies: hes making enough power that he cant hook up on stock wheel base. so obviously he needed to widen the stance so he can put it to the ground. and i can only guess when hes actually driving around corners if he applys power the tail always tries to beat the head around the bend. so if you widen stance, it has a harder time coming around on you and sliding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'll take "what happens when a ricer gets ahold of a Vette" for $200.I'll take cars I'll never own for $200 Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obesityrules Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 yeah i am sure the guy that slapped that wide body kit on the vette did the same amount of wind tunnel testing and research as the gm engineers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the company that sells it did some extensive research. I'd almost guess it is similar to the LeMans cars I showed above. This isn't a rice type vendor and is certainly not a rice-like application in terms of fit, finish and quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexy and mean looking beyond the max!I have a feeling you're going to be back in some 4-wheeled machine soon enough if the 2-wheeler sells.One thing about speed, you never want to give it up.

CattaniAFJ Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I love the first one posted, other than those gay ass tail lights.The silver one looks like a wanna be Porsche Boxter or something...For the record: I don't like Vette's anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 That looks like a kit car vs. a supercar. It reminds me of the Pontiac Fiero kits... The gaps on the dorrs and hood, etc are shit. The Vette in question is amazing detail and very mean looking.Anyone that has seen the LeMans cars has to agree (If you think they are badass).Uploaded with ImageShack.usThe wide kits are typically for the rear end and front to accomodate upgraded suspension components and wheels/tires for performance. As for the comment that it takes away from performance based on weight, I am willing to bet large sums of money that if the guy did that kind of work, it ain't stock... Power is probably not an issue.Read up on Callaway, they're doing more than a body kit. Been doing it for a long, long time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Jesus you guys look into things wayyyy too much.This is why I keep my car things to the car websites. The bike guys are way too anal about "functionality". BTW, all that Callaway bullshit. Yeah, it's just like any other bodykit. Styled for looks, not wind-tunnel tested to reduce drag/lift and enhance speed. Same with almost any other company out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
