Stance/hellaflush, Why?

So, if you do something to your sports car that defeats the purpose of the sports car and contradicts its definition, it is inherently retarded. This fad, by definition, ruins the car!

The Evo and STi are 4 doors.
The Challenger has horrible maneuverability.
The GTO is heavy as shit.
So by definition they're not sports cars right?

Because Wikipedia said so. Kids these days I swear....

[zdr93523]

I took 2 seconds to find the definition, because this topic isn't worth much time. And no, Wikipedia is not the end all. The Challenger and GTO are not sports cars. Period. Bad example. The other two are sport sedans. And I am by no means a kid or new to this "game."

I'm just trying to provide OBJECTIVE reasons why this is stupid. I've said it before, it's like taking a hot dancer chick and chopping her legs off. She wouldn't be as good a dancer after that would she? You wouldn't do that would you? So why would you take a $30K sports car and make it less sporty? Any logically sound, normal person wouldn't.

May I introduce the Chewbacca defense? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

Muscle car =/= sports car

Using the quick Wikipedia definition or Webster's definition, Muscle cars are not sports cars. They are not nimble or easy maneuvering.

Merriam-Websters dictionary:

"Full Definition of SPORTS CAR: a low small usually 2-passenger automobile designed for quick response, easy maneuverability, and high-speed driving"

"Full Definition of MUSCLE CAR: any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving"

Similar, but not quite the same. This is why cars like the Miata, BRZ/FRS, Boxster, Cayman, S2000, etc... are considered pure sports cars while muscle cars are not.

It's in your own signature, come on now.

Usually a quote is preceeded or followed by who authored it.

Why spend more money to make your car more sporty when you can just save up and buy a car that's more sporty to begin with? If you want to be logically sound don't get into car modifications. It's simple as that because it's honestly a complete waste of money if you want to argue being logical about it. That doesn't stop you and I does it? As for the whole hellaflush debate, this is one of hundreds of threads started on the debate already and it's a complete waste of time. I'm going to seek greater entertainment in the off-topic sections.

straight out bashing however is not okay...

So, if someone potentially modifies their car directly in violation of state or federal laws that is perfectly OK... But the freedom of speech is not?

Gotcha.

You ruined your visibility with that tint. That's dangerous. I wish people would stop ruining these amazing cars with their "rice"

[tahdizzle]

Actually, in certain track environments, you must be able to see through the windshield of the vehicle in front of you.


So yes, tint is dangerous in certain circumstances.
