It's not so much the bags as it is the silly camber on the rear, mixed slightly with the stretched look. Again, that side profile looks like with the wheels.

I don't care if he's a member, I'll tell him my opinion of the look, that I think it's retarded. It's just my opinion. I respect him for doing something fun and original, even if I don't like it.

Can anyone think of a reason why a performance car needs to be on airbags?

Considering the weight and added crap needed to make them work, I say it hurts performance.

From a cool looking standpoint, sure... looks cool, if you want to look like a Lexus.

If you want it to be a show car it makes a lot of sense. 2theextreme has an air ride suspension. Lift it and ride it to the show, drop it at the show. If you bought the Z to make it a show car, it makes perfect sense.

Well sure... but I was insinuating that a Z isn't really made for that and I think a lot of members on here will agree.

To each their own though, I guess it is just personal taste.

they actually make a huge difference in performace. I think Ride Tech, or one of those guys, did a 4th gen camaro w air bags and they took it through the slolum and it makes a huge difference.

it all depends on what u want to use them for. show or go. it does weigh more but theirs pros and cons to anything you do to a car.
