domestic stance

[sixonefive]

apparently these domestic racers arent just exclusive to cars...some guy tried to pull up to me on the interstate today in his hemi dodge ram and was ridin beside me trying to get me to race...seriously dude? i dont give a fuck if you do hve a hemi..then he finally caught on and slowed down for like 2 minutes then came flyin past me doin probably 95-100...

i just dont get it

See, theres the rub. What purpose other than aesthetics/damn good looking car does this scene have with any car? 10" wide all around with 215s stretch does not improve quality of a old school Rabbit.

Form over function, but lots of drifters take to this style so where does the line honestly cross? People that Drift need way more intricate built rides than those that squeeze milliseconds out on the quarter mile.

my balt will never be stanced. it defeats the purpose of the car.

i have a cobalt ss/tc. its all stock because im poor, but i have browsed the cobalt forums and they are all complete idiots. i do love the stance scene, but my balt will never be stanced. it defeats the purpose of the car. im going to lower it because it sits craxy 4x4 high stock, but no slammage, hellaflush, tuck/poke business. i do have an fb rx7 that needs stanced, but im still poor.

there are a few bagged cobalts out thee, but i think they are more into the minitrucking scene.

I think that you guys are completely correct. MOST domestic owners are worried about 1/4 miles times, DUBS, or rice. Its all the same shit really and it gets boring. Also the perception of stanced cars or stretch for most domestic owners is that the "flush" movement it stupid, unsafe, and pointless.

I know my neon is FAR from stanced but I feel that Im heading to the right direction. I know my car will never be "fast" and to be perfectly honest Im ok with that. If I wanted a "fast" car I would have gotten something AWD or RWD. The FWD platform just doesnt seem like a practical one to make fast.

With that said I think there are a few members on the neon forums that are thinking out of the box as far as style goes.

Glasswars is the first Ive seen to rock Works. We have a member with BBS RS's, wire tuck, etc, another member has a first gen with custom top hats that allowed him to be within a inch from the ground and drag kframe, and myself who has been unoffically dubed the lowest static dropped 2gn. if thats true or not has yet to be seen lol.

I know most of that may not sound to exciting but I think we can all agree its FAR better then fart cannons, APC windshield banners, and SUPER MAD TYTE JDM INVADER bodykits.

Dude, with that kind of power he's pumping out in a cavaqueer, he's gonna need more downforce

Nice looking SRT4! I just wanted to chime in and say that I really think the reason you don't see alot of ultra low "stanced" domestics is because the popular domestics are, Camaro's, Mustang's, Charger's, Challenger's even trucks like the Lightning. These are all fast cars, if they were ultra low you wouldn't be able to drive them hard or fast. I guess what I am trying to say is the domestics are more performance driven and style is second.

Yea, but look at all the poor excuses for sports compacts. I see more of those cars trying to fail than anything else. Most of them are cars given to kids and wanna be part of the scene and rather then doing something from the heart and finding something they can put devotion into they take these cars and put some graphics on with giant wings and fart canon mufflers.

my buddy's srt4, low but the wheels aren't flush. he has it set up so he can swap the slicks on without raising it up for them.



19" centerlines all the way around for the street, 15" ones for the slicks.

"im a guy, its in my DNA" lol.. sorry i had to make a quote.

[sixonefive]

i know this isnt totally true butme and my friends have a joke that all mustang drivers are short and they have to get a big V8 to make up for their lack of height...just kinda funny cuz all the rustang guys in our local car club are under 5 foot 8 inches LOL

im with 615, glad people on here share the same feelings i do against the dumbsauce that is spread across america. i was with a friend of mine yesterday at a wendys having some double stacks and i hear/see this pasty yellow mustang flying down the road, ridiculous. so we proceed to tend to our food, and again he passes by, going the opposite direction doing the saaame shit. he probably kept this up for 20 minutes driving up and down a road looking for someone to rev at and call it a day. love it.

only domestic car on this site that i like is aretree's charger. all others are dumbestic.

i **** these guys that drive their rustangs and slowbalts and all those other cars that try to act hard. it HORRIBLE here. every other car is a mustang or a camaro that has pipes and thats it. they think they have the hardest car too...and yes they do all have the same mods. tinted tail, wannabe angel eye headlights, fat tires on stock wheels, LOUD AS FVCK straight pipes...the list could go on and on. and they claim that they are in it for performance and all but most of these cars would be terrible around a track..maybe they could do decent in a straight line but handling in domestic cars is subpar to euro and jdm, end of story.

and if you think im ***** its cuz i am. these guys piss me off. im sure there are plenty of decent domestic guys out there that dont go around revving their engines at anything with 4 wheels, i just dont know any...im not ***** on the decent ones, just the ones that think their badass.

i will add that i do like corvettes. always have. but vette drivers dont typically have the same attitudes as rustang and slowbalt guys....and i also like the new camaro. but none of these guys have gotten their hand on them yet...the day will come eventually i guess

and if you think im ***** hard, you should hear my friend friend talk about dumbestics....he could go on for days and days about them...
