Crazy drop and great photo composition but what is with the super high-contrast trend? There is so much shadow and highlight detail clipped in most of those otherwise great photos!

ok, i understand the whole gangsta stance thing... but im still wondering if you chose the right car for this sort of thing. the Z is a sports coupe, no rear seats, designed to handle and accelerate well. the whole vip thing seems to revolve around sedans.... with that sort of stance it requires a whole lot of camber and skinny stretched tires which goes against a handling and accelerating. im sorry but sell the Z and get a sedan? some cars are designed and deserved function over form which i believe the Z deserves. some cars are designed for form over function and i believe those are the vehicles that deserved the slam dont care about camber look. just my humble opinion.

oh yeah, the Z is designed and deserves to be driven hard and with enthusiasm. how in the world can you do that being slammed scraping everywhere with no traction?

car looks sick but does it have any soul behind it? its like a girl who gets plastic surgery because all she thinks about is her looks but there isnt any soul and personality behind in her heart. in the end there's no substance, just vanity.

Well some people just prefer looks over function. I know it's a sports car and it's meant to be driven heard like you said, but not everyone is into that. As long as the car looks clean and the owner is happy with it, I don't really mind the whole stretched tire/VIP look.

Ok I understand were you are coming at, you see my car slammed with some camber and think to yourself what is the point of all this. Well its not really for you to like but for me to enjoy..
I wanted to combine to types of styles that I like for drifting, kind of like a Gleb or a Matt Powers..

Now I can tell you that I don't drive slow around town. I drive as fast as the next guy if not even faster. I Have plenty of traction and handles like a dream. like the article said I'm building my car to drift and not for time attack or drag racing.

But like I said before it's not for you to understand. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So we agree to disagree.
