Not sure what to think of this...
 
http://www.stanceworks.com/2015/05/a...omeo-2000-gtv/

I'm really not sure what to make of this. I THINK I like it. I'd certainly love to drive the sh*t out of it, although I'm sure that I wouldn't have had the balls to cut up a GTV in the first place. I just love everything about those little Alfa coupes-which is why I'm amazed that I've never run across this one in all of my internet browsing. Maybe some of you have already seen it, but it's new to me. So weird.... :)

I know what to think of this one but if I say it the Stance Yo crowd will be all over me.

I am not normally an anti stance kind of guy but that...

This car was built to drive hard, not cruise around. I quite like it.

Somehow I doubt that.

Not a fan of stance but it looks ok.

At least it's not aggressively cambered to where it looks like it's going to fly away like a UFO.

I actually like the look of this car. Looks like it would be a fun car to take on some back road twisties

Before looking at the article: Too low, front mount oil cooler is and always will be dumb, and it looks like he has a hydrodipping business or something because he's covered everything in fake ass cf (and wtf at the camo?)...


After reading article: Something is NOT straight in that engine bay. His excuse for throwing the alfa engine out is that it's not powerful enough when he could have just turboed one.


Oh, and the builder is a giant douche:

Jason's extensive modifications and the foreign heart were in lieu of his promises to the car's original owner. "The owner was passionate about keeping things period with the car. I had to keep my mouth stitched well shut about my future plans, lest I offend. I knew my plans wouldn't find too many ears keen to know about my build," Jason says. He had the man thoroughly convinced that his GTV was in a purist's hands, but it couldn't have been further from the truth.
Congrats, you're a ****...

So much custom work done right, what's not to love?

this car doesn't even have a stance car alignment, it has sticky tires and what look to be alignment specs for a good driving car.

Putting a turbo on an engine doesn't exactly make reliable power...

Actually seeing it on my computer instead of my phone I now agree and retract my earlier statements. On the phone it looked like there was far more camber.

I could see how you would think that
