This wheel gap

>this wheel gap

Why did GM authorize this?

>FF
LMAO GM BTFO IT LOST TO A V6 WILL THEY EVER RECOVER OF SUICIDE WATCH FORD GOAT FOR 50 YEARS

Lots of cars had a that during that era.

But you wouldn't know because you weren't alive back then.

Because at that generation it wasn't a big name that stood next to the corvette, it was just a somewhat muscely coupe, so they didn't really care all that much.

>wheel gap

Who gives fuck, outside of stancefags?

kek
someone post the first NSX

This thread is now about glorious wheel gaps.

Dat sexy gap, yo. All stock like it should be.

Stop looking at my gap, silly stancefag,

hahaha ty :^)

All dem fake bitches dont no bout ma gap.

4th gen trans am owner here

so you can fit drag tires stock.

I never knew my little Miata could have such a lewd gap.

This horse has a gap for miles.

It was a different time.

>drag tires

Those are high performance street tires.

...

Gap you say?

mine are just bfg g-force sport comp2 summer tires

but there is some room under an fbody

Wasn't saying you were wrong about that. All good.

Fun Fact: When a suspension is unloaded (jacks / stands / lift) for long enough, the suspension elongates. When the car is put back on the ground it will take hours or days for it to return to normal height.

Pic related from when I had mine on jack stands for 2-3 weeks.

That doesn't look bad honestly it looks practical. Yes I'd lower it /slightly/ but I also enjoy being able to take a turn without squinting.

'80s/'90s Wheel Gap Thread? Oh, boy!

Delicious wheel gap.

>wheel gap

I think you mean "speed gap."

You fucking 12yo or are you a summerfag?

Tons of cars from had a fair amount of wheel gap before stance culture made the industry decide on a 17'' rim minimum.

i think that mostly because of safety stantards since you have to get a higher beltline the wheel got bigger so the cars could still look nice
plus road were shitty back in the days

Just because a bunch of millennials decided that all cars should ride like ass doesn't mean the industry views bump travel as a bad thing.

Bouts the right amount of beautiful 90s tire gap

>plus road were shitty back in the days

spotted the suburb kid

uhh suspensions have travel

>plus road were shitty back in the days

Nigga, unless you lived in some backwater town with only 1 paved road, your statement is grossly incorrect.

Underrated mock post

Those are some sexy fucking tires

I'm probably older than you little faggots fuck outta here.

Also only summerfags call others summerfags

>sport comp 2s

No, you're not. I'm actually old enough to legally post on Veeky Forums.

>Also only summerfags call others summerfags
Only summerfags believe this is true.

Sex bro

>Why did GM authorize this?

More room for FAT MEATS, duh.

if you mod it, does it turn?

ok

...

Because that's how it is, all modern cars do is slam on 20" factory rims and extend the "wheel arch" six light years down to give the illusion of good wheel gap

>miata 4x4
Hello.

It would be extremely unstable

Dat gap.

>Shut up I'm older that you, you are the summerfag.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you spot a summerfag.

Leave this place and only return when you are at least 18 years old.

...

>pointing out the guy pointing out the "summerfag"
>calling him a "summerfag"

You do realize it's Saturday, right?

Computers and phones in my neck of the woods work at least 10 months out of the year.

I just ordered coil overs for my Audi A4 and this thread made me feel so much better. 3" from the fender to tire, just fuck my shit up.

>Everything to do with that cars looks

Why did GM authorize this?

The target demographic for the car was hicks that still lived on dirt roads.
Therefore they needed some ground clearance so they could drive the car if the road washed out.

They knew people were just going to modify them anyway, like the mustang, firebird, and other cars of the time.

Gm couldn't let it step on corvette toes, it had to be taller, heavier, and slower.

All this fuss over stock cars on Veeky Forums all the time. It's like everyone thinks all cars stay stock all the time. Children, please.

Rate my gap

3/10, boring but consistent

rate my gap 2bh family

America's need it so their weight doesn't cause the tires to rub.

>He doesn't enjoy quality wheel gap

Did someone mention gap?

Based suspension

man

these cars are all ugly as fuck

stance is literally the only reason most of these look half way decent now

finally a solid opinion in a thread full of autistic niggers

>I'm a newfag pretending to be oldfag: the post

As already said, it's because guys will throw fat ass drag slicks on these.

Stock ride height.

>The target demographic for the car was hicks that still lived on dirt roads.

I guess Porsche's target demographic is also a bunch of hicks that live on dirt roads.

>America's need it so their weight doesn't cause the tires to rub.

Not as much as the Italians did apparently

wat

>speed bumps

i once got mines airborne a few days before it got stolen lol

jumped a dip on a railroad track and the nose/front hit pretty hard but no visible damage

largest gap of any vehicle I've owned. its 2wd. im not proud.

For you.

Golf IV gti?

>everything in that car

Why did GM authorize this?

has to kill himself due to being a furfaggot/10

obviously.

>side facing inwards
>rotation =>

That confused me for a minute. Are they on backwards or not?

One of the most beautiful designs ever penned.

He said you could fit them, not what was on in the pic

The funny thing is roads are worse now because we can't into maintaining infrastructure because muh over spending and the gas tax isn't tied to inflation.

My friend had one of those with sti wheels and sticky as fuck tires. I think he bought them from the owner when he came into the shop to get his new ones installed. It rolls like bitch but it fucking grips for days.

Kek, you beat me to it.
I was thinking of this pic when I saw the op. It's on my laptop so I couldn't post it.

Saleen sex 7
I forgot all about those.

It was because they knew coked up wall street investors would jump curbs during drug fueled binges.

GM knew only fat losers like their cars so they made it so when they sit inside the car is lowered to an appropriate height. My dad told me; he works at GM

Do you mean stance as in how the car sits on its wheels or the cancer that is "the stance look"?

Yes, exactly

Which one?

rude

How did GM's "engineers" react to losing to a Ford Tarus?

>damage control: the post

Take your L and leave

>Do you mean stance as in how the car sits on its wheels or the cancer that is "the stance look"?
"Stance" used to mean the former but now it's synonymous with the latter.

>he believes internet arguments can be concluded because he says so.

This is how much of a newfag you are. Not just on Veeky Forums, but probably the internet in general.

Only stancefags care about hellaflush speed bump scrapers.

Form over function: the post

fucking degenerate faggots

>I would drive my car on rimz if I could
> what is suspension travel?
