Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Badasp5.0]

People need to understand you can put a ton of money into a car but it doesn't necessarily bring up the value, especially if there isn't a huge market for the car your dumping money into.

Oddly enough there are tons of people who want a Del sol, I will never understand it. CRX heck yeah but a Del Sol???

There ought to be a GTP fund where rare, unmolested examples of 90s Japanese sports cars are adopted from across the globe and protected from tasteless morons. Else, we could lobby the UN to draft a Convention on the Rights of the Automobile.

PS: I am loving that 2JZ Lexus IS340 on GT's FB page (minus all the decals).

And yet another classic absolutely ruined by the Ringbrothers. These guys should have their hands cut.

This poor thing was a DeTomaso Pantera before these idiots did their thing.

[Spacegoat]

Whoa, they turned a real Pantera into that monstrosity? ! What a waste.

 

[Sage Ages]

 

[Slash]

That pantera is terrible.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I kind of like the Pantera.

 

[Firehound427]

Gotta love the Pirelli Goodyear tires on that Bumblebee Camaro!

 

[MadMike32]

Give it normal tyres and slightly smaller rims, and I'd like it. As weird as it is, that body kit works well with the Lexus Predator-face.

 

[GT Pro]

The work done on this car looks to be quite high quality, and the wheel design complements the vinyl work, but I don't for a second believe this person paid the $15,000 they allege was handed over for the paint work. Nobody could be that stupid, right? And what is with some drivers' obsessions with 'turning heads'?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

That FedEx truck is all hellaflush yo

lol

One from this week:

It's like something straight out of NFS Most Wanted... if the 323Ci was in Most Wanted.

I... I... I loved it

SEMA photodump

A Mustang with the electric motor from a forklift. Dizzying vmax of 35mph.

They made the xB worse...

Yup, gold-plated engine. Will never run. Makes me 🤬 sick.

 

[Slash]

The gold engine is cool because it's just eye candy but the Mustang makes me want to throw up.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

The sort of guys who build engines like that will never fire them up. Completely defeats the purpose of the engine. 🤬

 

[Cano]

I... I... I loved it

Overdone piece of trash like every Ringbrothers car, with useless gee-gaws all over the everywhere, only in this one they took the "restilying" too far off, and now it looks like a bad kit car for a Fiero or a MR2. Plus, lame Chevrolet power. I'd hit them in the face just for that car.

 

[ildd]

I think that car is beautiful excluding interior.

 

[Slash]

Honda themselves built a lawnmower that does 130mph. Questionable but awesome, especially since the factory made it.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

^I want that Lawnmower!

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Stiggy drove it.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I know, I saw that video a few days ago. Some say that he is the gardener for the Nurburgring, and that he is powered by petrol. All we know is, he's call the STIG.

 

[Slash]

Speaking of lawnmowers....this is local. 15:1 compression 351 Cleveland V8 running on alky. 0_0




Also, SEMA '67 fastback with a Coyote 5.0. Engine is cool, rest is meh IMO.

Bunch of pics here

Coyote 5.0 in a 3 Series

 

[MedigoFlame]

Another one from SEMA.

 

[Cano]

That green Mustang could be a looooot worse.

 

[Sage Ages]

Photoshop must die.

I don't understand the SEMA hate. They're cars used to sell products, the builders just cram as much stuff on them to attract attention at the show to get people to their booths.

 

[SilverFire]

That's my thing right there. The builders start adding too much stuff that it starts to draw attention away from the car. I honestly see no reason to give cars lots of equipment and gadgets that have no other purpose but to grab attention. Sooner or later the people are going to start hating the cars because they just have way too much. I personally like some of the cars from SEMA, but that's when they don't over do it.
