Why are people accused of being jealous when they lend a negative feedback?

I'm impressed by the motor and especially the interior but from the outside it looks awkward... I donno...

I usually have no problem with some aggressive camber but what you have going on in the rear is just too much. The outer tread blocks don't even look like they are touching the ground. From a performance standpoint you have very negatively affected handling by running this much rear camber. When the tire is no longer touching the pavement you have significantly less traction.

I don't want to be completely negative. I can appreciate the love you have shown that car. I absolutely love the wheels! The color is nice.

The downpipe welds appear to have been welded by apes though. Just from a standpoint of constructive criticism have those welds cleaned up would be very beneficial to the under hood aesthetics. I only say this because it appears to be a show car. As far as functionality it is fine and if it was my car I would probably say funk it. Lol.

It made some good power. What kind of fuel are you running? Any ET's from the strip yet? Do you race it?

Cons, Painted brake lines, no rear sway, painted wiring harness, down pipe looks like crap.

Pros, made it into a magazine

Not a lot of work left to finish it, looks pretty good.


Stance everyone is about it for some reason now a days, Im not a big fan but I do roll a cambered out VIP lexus lol.

I built the car for myself not for anyone else and I hate the fact you see all these nice show cars but yet they have a stock motor or just a simple swap. I wanted something with both so thats why I built it this way. The car hasnt been to the track this season but I plan to go within the next month to see what itll put down. Last season it went 11.50 @ 130 2.0 60ft on 24.5" MT with 450whp. Now the car is at 525whp so Im looking to hit mid 10s with a good 60ft. The car is tuned on 110 oct.
