Well I thought the Charger was cool and only Camaro boys have mullets.

Ok... still not stock, but whatever... you are the one who keeps saying stock cars are the best, your actions just contradict your statements.

There are lot's of other options.... Just why mess with something I personally think looks pretty damn good as is?
Now isn't it all about personal preference? If you like the way your car looks stock that's great! I know I don't modify my car to suit other peoples taste, and never will. I do what I like I could really careless what other people think (one reason why I have never posted a picture of my car, or put a link to my website in my sig).

I don't label every import driver a ricer.. I have known quite a few that were cool as shit.. it's the mindset/attitude that makes them one.... I see a lot of it here.
You have good taste in wheels, personally I think the wheels on your car look good.

So who determines what it "should look like from the factory" you? Get over this thing "the best looking cars are stock", you obviously don't think that (ie the height of your car, and the wheels)

And no not all body mods mean ricer.... just most of them are way to fucking gawdy and taken to the extreme... like all these front end/grille shit with the wire mesh.. yukkk.
I know the diffrence between a z-28 and ss, but, my point was chevy made parts for the ss that are more or less "factory aftermarket".

Tastefully modified and extreme's are two diffrent things, and yes wire mesh is nasty.

Nah, I'm having a good ol time And I have never labeled "ya'll domestic guys" although.. you have done some labeling yourself.

I DON'T think all stock cars are the best looking.. gawd damn.... I just think a few cars like the ZO6, SS camaro, etc.. look pretty damn good close to stock. You can mod the hell out of whatever you have... and it could very well look fukin sweet... but you have to do it right. Who's to say it's right? well since it's my opinion.. how about me?
Here is an example... a few years back I was supposed to race some green civic hatch.. it had a slight cowl hood on it, similar to a stang cowl hood, was lowered just enough, had a nice set of polished Al wheels on it and slightly larger stainless exhaust, not that huge out of place muffler most run. The interior had the pillar gauges and black corbeau seats, and it was SUPER clean. The engine didn't have fukin yellow loom all over it and flashing shit everywhere. It was just a nice car and funcional aka quick car... single turbo. I honestly would want one just like it... I don't like the higher HP fwd torque steer thing.. that sucks and is no fun to goof of in like a rwd, but it was probably the best looking honda anything I have ever seen.

damn this thread sucks... you guys are taking so much time and effort to write pages and pages but i seriously doubt either side is hearing much of it or at all being persuaded

i don't know specifically which one it is, but the hottest car in richmond isn't anything that cost less than $100,000 when it was new, i don't care how much power it makes now, how it handles, how many car shows it has won, how many tv's it has, or how sentimental it makes you feel

diablo, 360 spyder, noble m12 gto, amg's, stuff like that, those are all possibilities but from there it becomes a matter of opinion, but there is no way any mortal car like a firebird or old chevy can be in the running for hottest car, its just not possible, there is nothing off the show room floor that can touch those cars on the drag strip, at an auto x, on a road course, in a dyno shoot out, in a car show, and in terms of technology and luxury... you could build a car like a supra to be better in every single catagory than said exotic, but no matter how fast or nice it is you can always say "but its just a supra", same goes for a trans am or a mustang or a integra or a mr2, they are and always will be common cars regardless of how bad ass they might perform, an exotic will always have that undescribeble appeal if for no other reason than you know how much it cost and how few are on the road... a viper, nsx, or 911 with ALOT of work maybe, but even then those are border line because they just don't have a soul like a 575 or a murcielago

Then it sounds like we have very similar taste in cars
