Hate all you want but that car doesn't belong in this thread. It's a purpose built race car... plus it's got a 20b.

This thread is "what not to do to your car" which shouldn't be limited to aesthetics. If something is ugly but functional then it shouldn't be considered a bad thing. Keep in mind, I consider actual use as part of functional. If someone made the above body modifications to their 8 just to drive it around town below the speed limit, then that would definitely belong in this thread. I'll agree that the car doesn't look good but they have to make those kinds of sacrifices to win.

I do think it looks pretty good going around the track. A whole lot better than the still picture.

It's not even an rx8. Tube frame and frp body silhouette as we call it here.
That thing is actually faster than the grand-am rx8 everybody drools on so yeah, doesn't belong in here!

Crappy cellphone picture, but that is an angry bird hanging there like a *******. Sadly, I was unable to capture the spray-painted red rims he was flashing when he turned the corner. It's not the greatest 'what not to do to your car!', but it put a grimace on my face, so I figured I'd share!

I am not a forensic fireologist, but I am certain it was those effing stupid stretched tires that caused this fire!

Well in theory a person with a ***** and a vagine is the most functional kind of human.... but it looks weird and I don't like it, kind of like that car.
