It's within reason to still be saved from the "rear donk " tho. I've seen worse.

Lol!! Gotta love that sales pitch!!! That is some serious "stance!!!!" and "custom interior that is one for the books."

First couple pics I thought the front rims were larger than the rears.... but I guess its just the angle. They both look ridiculously large.

Somebody loved it enough to build it.

Agreed! Sometimes cars like this can be bought well and with an investment in a better suspension and wheels and tires you'd have a pretty good car.

The cars confused as to what its supposed to be, horrible rake.
Looks like they had an idea that was going well and then Xhibit from "Pimp my Ride" showed up and dropped off some ideas..

"It's hard to go wrong with certain cars. Case in point..." LOL

Reminds me of that "stink bug" stance we all strived for in the 80s with air shocks and Lakewood traction bars... but even we did it better back then!

You can't buy that car at that price and save it. You'll be underwater the whole time. It needs a $25k sticker price.

As a marketing guy I can't stand the marketing BS used in car sales. What a joke.

My friend's car looked like that in high school only it had stock 14" wheels with 205-75s up front and N50s on slotted mags out back. I was glad when that look went away, now Pro Touring is bringing it back???

So too much weight up front, a suspension preloaded to nose dive, factory suspension parts all around, drag race ladder bars with single leafs, and big wheels make it the perfect pro touring machine. Cool.
