What are your thoughts on super slammed 370z out there.
 
Talking about the ones with the wheels sticking out of the fenders by a few inches and at a angle. Mainly did a search on instagram and saw a lot of them out there. I wonder if any of those owners are on this forum. :ugh:

i personally don't like it.

Can't meaningfully comment because I don't instagram (is it a bird or food or something :icon17:... kidding) but by your description, that sounds a bit excessive. I like a lowered Z, but not all uber-stanced out.
In the end, it's to each their own IMO. :rolleyes:

:iagree: they can ride as low as they want as long as they dont slow up traffic.

i think some of them look pretty good as static models, but would drive terribly around town.

Personally, it's not something I would do. But, I'm not sure why we can't respect the creativity and work that goes into a car as an extension of one's own personality.

kenchan 08-29-2013 03:54 PM

creativity and expression. indeed. not bad, meulen! :tup:

There are many out there that are done right. Once again, their form of expression and taste. Nothing wrong with it. Lot's of them look good and a lot of people like it as well. Not sure what your intentions are with this post but if you are looking for those who share your thoughts, I'm sure you'll find them but let's not flog members who set theirs up in a way you disagree with. So what if some of them are in this forum?

coolvans1988 08-29-2013 04:04 PM

Just being curious.
Meulen yeah I understand about their personal taste and all, does that go the same for the people that add autozone decals? lol

Kenchen, seems like they go based on looks vs preformance on a sports car.

Do you respect the creativity and work of this guy? Do you think it reflects well on his personality?

This reminds me of those silly 4AM half-drunk pseudo-philosophical conversations you have at Denny's when you're like 23 about supposedly-unanswered questions like, "What is or isn't Art?". There's such a thing as taste. The car above isn't art, it's tasteless and silly. If you want to argue 23-year-old-philosophy about the subject, try Denny's, but at the end of the day you won't convince me the above car isn't tasteless and silly. When I see a Z sitting on the ground with wheels sticking out at funny angles, it reminds me of cars like the one pictured above.

Somehow some aspects of racecars became cool to emulate, and then the emulation got ridiculous because it was disconnected from the reality. By following a trend that's very indirectly emulating a racecar, people do things to their cars that actually make them handle worse than stock, or make them ridiculously unsafe and/or unreliable. There's no redeeming value in that.

I like it! I think it looks sick.
But personally….

1. I can’t afford to buy tires like they do.
2. I’m to anal to not care about scrapes.
3. My Z sleeps indoor would never make it up my drive way.
4. I’m all about performance so taking turns, smashing out. I got to be able to maneuver.

But I think it looks awesome!

yah, i dont go around bashing people for their slammed rides. i think some of them do look good, but i know for a fact they dont ride well.

ive spoken to many younger folks into that stuff in my area and they've told me 'how they hate how it rides, but it looks so damn cool.'

gotta give them something for that i guess. :icon17:
