What does it really stand for?

Armored Personnel Carrier?
A Perfect Circle?

That was my first instinct. Armor would explain their 0-60 times, but if it was armored, it would look more like a van built by the A-team.

I think it is the name of some aftermarket parts company.

I actually think that it stands for American Products Company.

I feel like a ricer for knowing that.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

To be honest that is fairly lame and sadly fits the car.

toe adjustment are made and set for straight line stability at high speed, with that little amount of tire on the road, that thing would be skiddish as hell at any speed, turning or not.

and WTF, who dresses like those clowns, I hope in the back of my head, that they are kidding, and are only trying to be Complete Tools for the sake of a joke.

I am amazed at the thought that people actually think that car is useful, on some level, in some way. It is not doing insane autocross, it is being wasted, by some poser.

this thread is what NOT to do to your car...probably for a reason.
