Somebody please explain this small tire thing to me please

 

[lemonade41]

MMN, that car got FLAMED to death on ca.com, and I kinda agree, the car would look AMAZING if it wasn't apart of that stupid looking stretch/poke trendgoing around. What amazes me even more is that some of thsoe cars are not on bags and actually RIDE AROUND like that, just seems stupid to me.

+1 I'm sick of people following trends, whether its bike racks or stretch/poke, if it looks stupid, it looks stupid

its also dangerous fam. but i dont think these are their daily drivers. if they go over something wrong, turn wrong, or just drive too long thetires will explode/pop/shred and they will be riding on rims.

stretch isnt bad, but i dont like poke though

 

[mr monday niight]

i LOVE the stretch look















stretch all day

 

[sha77er s7ar i]

im all for stretching, like the acura tl's are a clean stretch. the g35 is OD...

 

[lemonade41]

1st one was okay, second one not so much, its an okay look if its not OD like that G, but that HAS to be dangerous

 

[ninjahood]

that %*+% looks terrible...

and whoever's talkin about "weight is too much" muscle cars have ALWAYS been heavy..


[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS arrived during a time of change for muscle cars.Following Detroit's drift toward muscle pretenders was the Heavy Chevy of '71-72. This was a budget SS with a cutesy name, its own exterior graphics,and 14-inch tires. Heavy Chevy V-8 choices ranged from the 307 V-8 to the Turbo-Fire 400-cube small block.[/font]

The 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS had a 3.31:1 gear, the strongest performance ratio available at the time. ​

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Production totals for the 402- and 350-cube SS Chevelles are sketchy, but some sourcesput the number around 60,000. Chevy researchers say 9402 SS 454 Chevelles were built for '71.[/font] ­

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For '72, the net horsepower ratings kicked in and engines were rated with all theirpower-robbing accessories attached. The LS-5 454's rating under this system was 270 horsepower. The Turbo-Jet 400 came in at 240 net horsepower. Few ofthese big blocks were ordered, though, as SS Chevelle buyers opted for an expanded range of more docile V-8s. There was the 350 in 165-and 175-horse trim, andthis year even the 130-horsepower 307 was available in an SS.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Super Sport package itself changed little and still made the Chevelle look brawny,no matter the engine. All LS-5s were mated to the Rockcrusher four-speed, while the other V-8s got either the three- or four-speed manual, depending onhorsepower. And since power had fallen to ranges that wouldn't damage the Powerglide two-speed automatic, it now joined the Hydra-matic on the optionslist. A 3.31:1 gear was now the strongest performance ratio available.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Chevelle SS production fell to 24,946. The LS-5 found only 5333 takers, including ahandful who ordered SS 454 convertibles, the last of the Super Sport Chevelle ragtops.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Chevy built nearly 296,000 SS 396 and SS 454 Chevelles from 1968-72. No muscle car everhad a higher-volume four-year run. The Super Sport Chevelle: quantity and quality.[/font]

Curb weight 3520 lbs (1600 kg) for 1968
= 3256 (1476.9 kg)for 1965 3260 lbs (1482 kg) for 1970 SS 454

so that weight argument u can throw out da window.

All these charts and $+!#.

What are you trying to prove? If people dont like Muscle cars, then so be it. Notice how you were the one that started talking $+!# on this page, yet you sayall you do is back your stuff up when someone says something about muscle cars.

Just post some dope muscle cars and keep it moving. Not need to try and convert people.
