    so you do plan on changing up the suspension bits for track use and switching back and forth? or finding a happy medium between track and appearance?

    Honestly, I think you're misled as to what constitutes a 'track car'.

    I think his point was that this thing does not look track ready in the slightest - at the moment.

    I thought I would have really liked this, but I dunno yet...lol

    Maybe its just the pictures and odd angles, but it looks wierd. Maybe its just a slammed Cobalt. haha

    IMO, all the 'trend' stickers all over is gross and takes away from the car.

    zipties, poke, and a tsurikawa dont make this boso, or rat rod.

    MILD shakotan maybe...

    just looks like a stanced cobalt to me. boarderline VIP.

    Shakotan:

    While agree that there's nothing boso about the car, but there's also nothing remotely VIP about it. At all.

    Also, that Skyline is a kyusha genre, but shakotan just means "lowered car"... I'm not certain that it indicates a particular styling either.

    Aren't the solstice and sky the same things (diff badges, but w/e)? are you sure that there's an AWD version? I think you might have your Saturn models mixed up.
