Meh, the pink-hooded Silvia (sounds like a breed of snake or something when you say it like that) isn't the prettiest thing I've ever seen but at the end of the day it's a drift car. They aren't really known for their subtlety as it is.

Just think yourself lucky we're not back in the 1990s. The pink hood would have green and yellow spots on it or something.

 

[Blitz187]

^^^^ True, but I've seen some drift cars with class come by here... This one is just wrong imo... 👎

 

[slidesquad#1]

So? Just because it might have been more unpleasant doesn't mean it isn't now.

Hey, that chick has herpes. It's all good man, she could have herpes AND chlamydia...

 

[Jim Prower]

I think it's cute. I like a sense of humor.

There are guys who paint their whole cars pink...

 

[speed junkie]

I have seen a decent amount, but i mean take into consideration the car, the wheelbase, the no co-driver. If you have better please post!

There have been better drivers with just as oversteer-happy cars in the past such as Ari Vatanen in his MKI escort and with more spectacular driving. Also, may it ever have dawned upon you that the driver knew the course?




Fast forward to 6:22. Ari Vatanen in the Opel Manta back in his days of rallying.

 

[Cale]

That's awesome.

Just no... the mags are nice, but I don't like it when people mess with one of the cleanest designs to come from the house of Mitsubishi...

I mean... the fender flares work from some angles, but they're just too balloony and bulbous to match the clean lines of the Galant.

Funny.

What I meant was that it's by a long way not the worst paint job I've seen. It's not actually that bad, at least it stands out.

The 90s comment was just a quip. I wasn't saying "Mussolini wasn't that bad, you should have seen Hitler"...

 

[slidesquad#1]

Haha I wasn't being entirely serious. But I don't really subscribe to the it's ok because it's different school of thought. To me, it's different, no doubt. But it's also tacky and not really that tasteful? Different strokes and all...

Something about that VR4 agrees with me.

However, here are some Evos in blurple.

 

[homeforsummer]

Good colour for the Evo 6 that one. Very distinctive.

 

[Azuremen]

On the Pink hooded Silvia... you do realize some of us like the "Less manly" colors. I have a purple M3 in my garage. I want a Techno Violet 540i. I own shirts that have Pink on them.

So I really don't see why that ruins the car, more so when it is looks like it is already Purple to begin with. Of course, not all purples and pinks are created equal, but still.

[homeforsummer]

See? Pink works!

 

[slidesquad#1]

Ahaha I have nothing against pink. Or purple. My car isn't exactly the most manly colour ever either. It's just the pink and purple, in that particular example, don't flow well together at all. To me it just looks jarring and there for the hell of it. I don't think it looks good/cool/etc. at all. I'd say the same if the hood was green/orange/yellow/whatever. I realise attention is important for the drift guys, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Like the pink shirts example. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're rocking a bright pink shirt with loud purple sleeves and collar just to stand out from the crowd, yeah, I'd probably judge you

Same colour as my bike, but mine has metallic flake. It's never in between; in some light it's straight blue, in other light it is unmistakably purple.

 

[speed junkie]

That Gallant is one of the few I have really liked. I think the flares made it for the better.

[Jim Prower]

Blurple Evo: Not a bad color, but the Scottish Flag valve cover threw me...especially as I know I'd get chided for having an American or Illinois-flag valve cover...

 

[Perfect Balance]

A bit too low, but..

 

[Kent]

Those purple cars are far too awesome to be purple.
What is that on the bottom, an RX7? Obviously the other is a Porsche, clearly an abused, unloved, beaten and bruised Porsche but a Porsche none the less. Certainly amazing looking cars but I'd never paint those cars in that color (blue or white are much more to my liking).

 

[Stotty]

The purple/pink colour of the Porsche is pretty close to a standard colour for the 964RS...

 

[Slicks]

Kinda ratty... I like it.

More Pink

I love 126-body Mercedes.

E30 M3... Gorgeous detailing in the engine bay.

A little low.

A little go.

That AE is weird. Drag car? What's with the pro-stock-lookin spoiler?

Also those Bimmers are hard as ****.

I was saying the same thing .

 

[-Fred-]

That AE is weird. Drag car? What's with the pro-stock-lookin spoiler?

Drift car. Turbo F20C pushing around 320whp, currently running second in the Canadian drift championship. Massively quick, and changes directions faster than a ballbearing in a pinball machine. And yes, it looks like poop.

 

[misnblu]

I'll take any of the hot pink cars.

 

[Small_Fryz]

And yes, it looks like poop.

But goes like stink

Give it 2-3" more ground clearance and higher profile tyres and I'd love it.
