domestic stance

[Tuck&Poke]

it is completely beyond me why SRT4 owners feel that they have to put an intercooler the size of the hubble telescope on their cars. The other day i overheard an srt4 owner who had an intercooler so big it was bigger than the opening in the bumper brag about it and then inform everyone he had a stock turbo.... i felt like slapping him.

Yeah but with certain cars you will loose lots of performance in handling. Not something a lot of Mustang guys want. So, some domestic guys as I previously said have excuses but when you have something like a Cavalier or some crap like that going rice and being a hypocrite makes no sense.

You can have decent stance without stretched tires. Most mustangs i see are on stocks with the fattest tire they could possible fit on them, and then its all sunken 3 inches in from the edge of the fender.

Anything can be stanced if you know what you're doing. There should be no excuses.

I'll chime in here since I own an '01 Mustang GT.

It's hard as hell to stance a Mustang, trust me. Getting low with one isn't the difficult part, it's finding low offset wheels that actually look good. Seriously, NOBODY makes good looking low offset wheels for the Mustang (at least not the 94-04s), because the majority of Mustang guys seem to just buy the exact same 3 or 4 OEM or replica wheels. Bullitt, the SVT wheels, 40th Anniversary, and Saleens. That's it. If you want great looking wheels for those Mustangs, you have to go custom and it's just not worth it IMO. Newer (S197) Mustangs are a different story. It's easier than hell to find good wheels for those, but even at ridiculously low ride heights those cars look kinda fat.

You forgot Cobra R's Unless that is what you meant by SVT wheels.

Closest thing I've seen to a stanced Neon. Cept for Glass up there.

This also happens to be my all time favorite SRT4. This guy knows how to mod.

Man, you have some domestic guys with Mustangs and Vettes and a few others that are heavy hitting cars but then you have the others ( wont mention cause I know I'll step on toes ) that bash everything thats not domestic and call it rice. Now today rice means cars with cheap gimmicks basically but thats all I see on said domestic cars. Cheap body kits, cheap wanna be Alteza lights, tribal vinyls taking 3/4's the body and so forth and so on. They talk down on swaps and hybrids like Sileightys for example yet they buy cheap e-bay tail lights with chrome bezels that mimic Alteza lights?

And I said it before. They bash on clean flush stance but for some reason they need to buy tires 3 sizes to wide and say they have wide track performance cars. Whats with that? 275's on 8.5 wide.

I got a domestic car but Im one of a kind at least.

And who the hell wasted a super charger on such a small engine anyway? They could have at least used a decent sized 6 in those ugly Cobalts/Cavaliers.

I don't mean to jack this thread and make it a **** thing but stuff like that irks me. I can admit to a fast car. It just gets annoying with some people. I dislike most muscle people because they're so damn ignorant 90% of the time.

Domestic here.

I really like the burgundy ZX3 (forget who's it is).
The 05+ front end looks great with some low-ish offset 17s.

I really don't consider myself to have 'stance'...the goal of my current setup was lowness.

[Ezze90]

EXACTLY! same here man.. all the fuckbalts here all look exactly the effing same, just a different color is what sets them apart. but yes, a ton of them are absolute douches. im sure theres one or two of em out there that are chill. maybe

All they do is just black out their tail lights and something different. The LS guy by me has these stupid LED braces where the fogs should be. God I **** those things. But his car sounds like absolute shit. I mean I can't say much cuz I only have a CAI and exhaust but that's changing real soon. I don't go around revving my engine at everyone who has something done to their car. Actually I never initiate things. I know 2 chill guys who drive vdubs. I can give respect to a vehicle thats fast but if the driver is a douche I'll **** on the car so much. End rant. lol

[lscfn10]

All 3 of us aren't quite there yet, but working on it, theres a couple more on here that are good too.

Most people just stick what they're used to and dont try to do anythign different.

[nomnom]

oh god you should see some of the slowbalts around my house. I have some douche in a yellow cobalt LS rev his rice sounding cobalt at me every time I drive by him. All he has is an exhaust done and maybe an intake, but I doubt it. i **** cobalts. And no offense to anyone who has a DUB on here, I love the cars, but the drivers around here are such snobbish pricks. They give vdubs a bad rep around here

Style just isn't a huge factor for most domestic guys. Of course, there are exceptions. Drivability and performance are what most of them are looking for. I know when I get my funds up, I'm buying a 2003-2004 SVT Cobra, or (more like in my dreams) LS1/T56 swapping my E24.

I've always been a domestic guy at heart (Muscle cars and pickup trucks at least), but I have a soft spot for European cars, and having my cars look the way I want... now style is a big part of having a car to me. Different strokes for different folks, that's how I look at it.
