Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

"Stance nation"

 

[Razor440]

This one's a bit quirky, but has it's bonuses. This is a third generation Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z that was given quite a treatment, visually. The rear seems to have had a facelifted Corvette C4 rear end mashed onto the rear of it with a Charger Daytona-like rear wing.
The wheels and the paintwork are probably my least favorite things about this car. The rest of the car is somewhat cool if you really think about it. Maybe if the car had a set of period custom wheels (for instance mesh wheels) and if the paintwork wasn't as hideous, I wouldn't mind owning something like this. Maybe giving it a wider body kit would help, and some engine upgrades, most importantly.

And what's the problem with the StanceNation cars?

Shame you can't like pictures as well as posts because the Evo X looks awesome

The rest are ok I guess...

They all look like lawnmowers on their lowest setting.

They are all pretty awful. Seemed self evident.

Answered your own question there.

Excessive camber doesn't make a car cool. Isn't that common knowledge among gearheads by now? They look rubbish and undriveable, even compared to the outlandish street machines of the 70's (which are quite dear to my heart when it comes to cars tbh)

To each their own

To each their own

Well yeah, but why even ask if that's what you're going to say?

And what's the problem with the StanceNation cars?

Same question. I fancy most of them

 

[Nissan_S14]

Because i wanted to know what exactly makes them so bad.

Because i wanted to know what exactly makes them so bad.

I personally don't like them because it ruins the car's look. Plus, it's impractical as 🤬. All the bumper scrape videos on Youtube should be sufficient evidence for that impracticality.

That RX-7 is absolutely gorgeous IMO, and that MK3 supra would be perfect, had it got slightly less camber.

As for that poor S2000 ....

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Holy 🤬 this is sexy!

 

[Turbo]

I honestly think the RX-7 has a large number of flaws, but if you guys like it, that's fine.

 

[Zychotic1]

I agree

That Ford Truck tho... I wouldn't change much about it

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

To reiterate what I said before, these "stancenation" cars just are bad imo both functionally and visually. For function, I cringe when I hear the bottoms of these cars scraping against the street. The fact that they're so low to a point where they can't get up driveways without some ramp is ridiculous. The only exception to that problem are the ones with airbag suspension.

For looks, I just think it looks ugly and unsettling for the most part. They all to me look like their suspension broke or something at the low heights these cars are set at. That feeling I have extends also to the ones with a lot of negative camber. They look like their wheels are going to break off, it just seems so unnatural. For all of these reasons, that's why I find "stancenation" cars to be a big cringefest.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Well, then..

 

[Tornado]

I remember when cars that sat that low just meant the owner couldn't afford the maintenance on his 90s Lincoln. It's a strange look to deliberately emulate.

 

[Turbo]

Well, then..

Certainly questionable, but that looks like a lot fun I must say.

Wow.

I mean, WOW.

 

[bremics]

My problem with Stancenation is back when I was 12 in GT3 I use to lower the cars as much as I could then put the camber as negative as I could.

I also use to really love the rice rockets from FF.

Basically, Stance is for 12 year olds.

 

[Michelin Man]

For the most part I'd agree with all that has been said about the Stance Nation stuff.

However, it can be done tastefully, and that RX-7 and MK3 Supra (admittedly with a little less camber) are perfect examples of that.

Things stop being tasteful when you start seeing Aventadors and 458's etc with those Liberty Walk kits, and sadly now the same can be said of the Rocket Bunny kits.

Aside from that, it's the overly excessive camber that kills it for me, which that S2000 (biased maybe ) highlights perfectly for me. It's that Hellaflush rubbish which the S2000 seems to be one of the biggest sufferers of, which annoy's me even more considering what the S2000 is capable of

Basically what I'm saying is, yes it's quite cringe worthy for the most part, but it can, and has been done tastefully.

 

[Nissan_S14]

Thankfully we have air suspension

But anyways I'm what you call a stance faggot, ricer, kid, retard etc whatever you call it lol

 

[Tornado]

So does that.

 

[Nissan_S14]

Looks like it's melting!

I think I can quantify why I abhor the excessively-lowered (regardless of how that ride height is achieved) "stance" trend (in this context I'm using it as the fanboys use it, because I've said many times that stance is something all road-going vehicles have when in proper working order).

When we break down a vehicle to its barest bones and section it off horizontally, we're left with two parts: the greenhouse (the space comprised largely of glass) and everything below it. As we lower a car, its bottom half shrinks while its greenhouse remains the same and the lowered car is left in a state of visual imbalance.

Anyway...

That's it! That is what is unsettling about it to me, it visually doesn't seem balanced and that's why I find it ugly.
