If you managed to see that in person, God help you. I feel bad for you witnessing that monstrosity with your own eyes.

And, while this is odd looking, I say, more questionable:

Waaaay too low. It's gonna freakin' scrap the bottom of the car..


It rides on air bags, this is how it looks rolling down the road.

Some might find this questionable but i'm loving it.

I'd bet the owner of that Celica got a thrill up his leg when he bolted that awful wing onto his poor sad Celica. On some cars, wings are bad enough, but that's an UGLY wing.
 
errr, I don't think the owner needs that much downforce; unless he plans to turn his Celica into a Time attack car or something.
 
Didn't go back through all the pages, apologies if this has been posted. I'm sure someone ( maybe lots of someones ) will like this.

Just had to look this thing up. It's the Alpina C1 318i, a 1981 BMW 318i modified by Alpina to compete in the Shell Kilometer Marathon, a fuel efficiency competition held by the German Auto Motor und Sport Magazine on a kilometre-long test course. The car achieved a record of 2,672 l/100 km (105.72 mpg) and won its class. In addition to the aerodynamic nose, the car was modified to run on two cylinders and it sent power to only one wheel for maximum fuel economy.

I can't help but like it, it's pretty much the antithesis of the BMW 320 E21 Group 5 car. Guess it's only a matter of time before we see this car in the GT Suggestions :P

Yeah, for one of those economy runs at the coffee break :yuck:
 
It's actually meant to look like an old Sunny but then again it looks a bit like a Camaro as well.

I may well be completely missing what you consider to be questionable, but it looks like a nearly standard B121 to me...

Blacked-out grill tin, airdam and aftermarket wheels with tires poorly fitted.
 
That's a Sunny truck, which is apparently where Kei Miura got the inspiration for the "Boss" S14 kit. Nothing questionnable about it, in fact it's fairly awesome, I simply posted the picture as a comparison.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, gotcha! :lol:

Actual Sunny sheetmetal--or at least new panels more closely resembling the Sunny's--would have been the far better choice as far as I'm concerned.
 
The green Silvia Challenger would be fine if they didn't draw attention to the Challenger similarity. They did such a good job adapting that design to the front of a much lower front end that it looks more like a homage (had they not put a bunch of Dodge badges and crap on it) to the cars that Japanese manufacturers were putting out in the mid 1970s that were lightly ripping off the Challenger and similar designs anyway.
