CAR 1 is lowered and chopped. Not sure how you can argue that hurts performance for the cars original state especially with the upgraded suspension, increased function over stock

CAR 2 DRAG CAR, has drag suspension and is setup foR FUNCTION. Come on kick star that brain

Car 3 Truck lifted off the ground for ground clearance, again function.

BRZ photo, mods that increase and enhance nothing at all, only take away from the car. Are you starting to understand?
*To establish, I tried to only reference street cars. For the first car, I was more responding to people talking about being "too low." Also, have you RIDDEN in a hot rod this low? Trust me, the suspension is a lot LESS functional for a street car. For the second, it's a response to the people who are complaining about modifying suspension outside factory specs/replicating racecars. And, lastly, lifted trucks run into a lot of similar problems that super-lowered cars do suspension wise: increased wear on bushings, stress on wheel bearings, body damage from "ill-fitting" wheels and tires, etc.
