Offset? Don't you mean inset?
If you think the car is questionable, you should meet the driver!

Hmmm... Someone needs to learn the basics of exterior enhancement^...
Now here is a Skyline that has a nice engine bay, exceptional wheels and good craftmanship throughout. Only problem is...
He threw on the greatest and only $20,000 'Wise Sports' GTR bodykit in the Southern Hemisphere on... you guessed it, a standard GTS-T...
What this comes down to is selfishness and disregard for any other enthusiast of a proper GTR deserving of the kit.
Normally I wouldn't mind but this is just foolish, questionable and immoral.

Is that the new Batmobile?

What? How? Why?
It's questionable because it's on a GTST? Why does that make it any more questionable than if it was on a full blown GT-R? What makes a GTR any more deserving of the kit than this car?
Selfishness and disregard for other enthusiasts? What? You realise you just said Nik (from the plates) is selfish because he paid money and bought a bodykit?
The only thing I would call questionable about that car are the graphics and the uncanny similarity to the TRD MR2 widebody kit.

That thing looks like a serious workhorse... I don't see many questionalitys about it. That white thingy is, if I recall correctly, found stock on the Berlingo 4x4 models. And worse things than adding extra wheels have been done in history. With the barn-picture, it really seems like it works somewhere.

That looks more like a NASCAR style space-frame chassis to me. Meaning it was never a 68 Toyota Corona. It might be dressed to look like one, but i doubt it ever was one. It might be a questionable modification to a NASCAR.

Nah, it actually was a Corona. I remember reading about it...

... it shares a handful of modified exterior body panels with the Corona and nothing else.

Actually, that one bolt...no, not that bolt, the other bolt...yeah, that one, yeah, thats off the Corona too.

it still started as a corona, and still used the corona parts, just how a fenderless '32 ford rod chopped sectioned channeled whatever is still a '32 ford

A '32 Ford rod is still based on a '32 Ford chassis with many modified body panels. This uses a custom space-frame chassis and a handful of modified panels. A ford RS200 shares more body panels with a standard Ford Sierra than this 'Corona' does with the original car. You'd never consider a RS200 to be a 'modified' Sierra would you?

So what? It's lighter than a car with ATTESSA, can make just as much power, less drivetrain friction, for all I'm concerned, It could concievably be faster with the right driver. I think an RB26 swap into a GTS-T could turn into something of a killer.
Blather on about 4WD all you want, but it'll always be heavier and more complex than a Front-engine, rear drive version of the same car.

All those CF body moulds and the car still reportedly weighs 750kgs. In other words, the same as a standard S1 Elise. CF panels to replace steel ones makes sense. CF to replace GF panels doesn't give you weight saving, certainly not for the astronomical price.
