That car is all out wrong. Why does he have a fake blower on the hood? The power train is in no way strong enough to handle that. Think of Bigfoot and the kind of money that goes into that suspension. Same thing would apply here.
The horns up front are a nice touch.

I only ask "WHY" when I see these things.

I don't like the trend of stretching skinny tires on super wide wheels, then giving the car ridiculous amounts of negative camber. I guess it's called "hella flush" or something.

Not my style and would never be caught dead in anything like that but I think its cool to see.

As far as those wheels on a newer BMW,totally TACKY.So low class.
And on a seven series no less, what a waist.

I've never seen anything like that before, but it might keep somebody from side-swiping the BMW..

Chances are, these cars are on an air ride suspension which allows them to raise the vehicle up to drive it. Air rides have been around for a long time and can make for a great ride in both smoothness and handling.

Thanks, I've heard of the air ride suspension but I'm not too familiar with it. Sounds too elaborate for my taste.

Is it to take out other racers' tires when you race against them? Otherwise, you can really maim and hurt others with that... more so than then careless/reckless can.
