Of course, look at the 2015 Le Mans GT-R LM prototype.

the front end reeks of corporate design on a race car. Porsche didn't do this, Audi didn't do this, not even Toyota did this until the Hypercar (and even that was subtle)

GT-R is only so cool because it's so bloody fast, otherwise I'd think they're ugly as hell too. They all look okay in black because it hides the odd lines. Make attractive cars again, sheesh.

The Supra is too 'modern' for what it's replacing. I get that you have to be but all the aggressive curves and lines - I don't know if it was a failure or just a bad try and the next generation will fix the issue. I will admit that the aftermarket kits for the chassis are pretty good, though.


The 400Z sucks and so far, no one has the ability to un-suck it.


The GT-R [R35] isn't ugly - it's just too fucking big. They do make insane power, though. I will be very surprised if someone can convince me otherwise of this take - the GT-R is the only reason that Nissan is still somewhat afloat. With all the allure to get them and the insane tag on them, I don't think there enough Altimas and Maximas in rental fleet sales to really make a dent at the profit margin a GT-R has. Again, I could be wrong but nothing 'wows' me coming from the brand anymore.

They did took the right direction and there are obvious influences but then
they f..k it up with theirs "signature" elements that sucks very much.

Why not hire the right guy for the job, make everybody happy and double the profit?

That Yaris is cool looking. I just personally can?t stand when they make the quarters damn near horizontal to fit a crazy wide wheel. It?s nonsense.

That's what the YouTubers want, that's what the YouTubers will get. They're willing to spend $4,000.00 on a kit just to toss some shit ass 19x14 somethingshitty's on them.

Wood screws should be in all SEMA builds.

If I ever built a car for SEMA, there'd be a single wood screw in the center of the roof, for all to see.

SEMA may as well be sponsored by Home Depot.

Rubber gutter lips, sheet metal screws, and zip ties.
