Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[GT40 MKII]

i wouldnt drive any

 

[Metar]

The Fiat 500 is the one I pity most of all. I'd drive it, but I'll curse the one who riced it.

 

[GT4_Rule]

The BMW is okay...just take away that rear bumper.

 

[DRIFT GOD]

 

[Metar]

Seems like a regular truck to me, not very questionable...

 

[toyomatt84]

There's a Chevy badge on the grille of a Ford Ranger. Yeah, that's questionable.

This is a car from our local driving school...

Not too ricey, but the sign on the roof won't add any downforce

I'd say that the added chrome tat, especially the 'H' badges on the mirrors, the bonnet scoop and the chrome rims and the 'Lexus' lights make it the perfect example of the phrase 'rice'

Just noticed those.. Agree, it is ricey.

I dont think that is really the driving shool's car, maybe it is the student driver's and they put the sign on to warn others. All the diving schools I know have Ford Taures'

All the ones in my area have 1.6l Subaru Imprezas. That's an insult...

Cavaliers... The forerunner of today's Chevy - cheap, unsafe, fwd, underpowered.

we're cheap around here, they use whatever they can get for a low price. i've seen that civic around alot and I can safely say it's not just a students.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Pretty nice Civic.

 

[Gen.]

Pretty nice Civic.

Are you on crack or something.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Of course without that little sign.

 

[Wolfe]

Of course without that little sign.

I don't think that will help your case as far as he's concerned.

LoL good call, good call.

There's questionability... Autocross dudes are nuts.

Yes it definantly looks wierd, but that is cool, I never would have thought of that. Downforce directly in the middle of the car!

 

[toyomatt84]

Of course without that little sign.

You'd need to add a lot to that removal list, before it would be a "nice little Civic".

 

[GT Pro]

So has this mounting position (That didn't sound right) been proved to actually be more aerodynamically-efficient than that of the standard position cause I'm lost as to what I should think of it.

 

[94_XJ]

It makes some sense since the cars weight is well balanced as it is and it might get some cleaner air...it makes it look a little like those sprint cars.

 

[Metar]

Cleaner air? In what sense, cleaner=unpolluted or cleaner=not in the draft of some other car?

 

[exigeracer]

Cleaner air? In what sense, cleaner=unpolluted or cleaner=not in the draft of some other car?

Cleaner air in this case would be catching un-disturbed air by being above the airflow around the rest of the car. Autocrosses are solo, and unpolluted air, well that's just whack.

Brings back images of Chaparals and other Can Am cars, where everyone used clean-air spoilers.

The picture is questionable because of its efficiency vs. a standard splitter/wing/diffuser combo.

In my opinion, it's a questionable too - the unpolluted air thingy was a joke. Plus, such a big spoiler, placed in the middle, and so high, might change the balance of the car, highten the centre of gravity, and scrape off tunnel-roofs... Plus, it looks rather hideous.

 

[94_XJ]

Wait, it's an autocross car? I guess I should have read first. Anyway, I don't think it's necessary at all then. At autocross speeds, one would think that the spoiler would slow the car down more than any benefits it would create with the added weight, drag, and a raised center of gravity.
