Made me think of a challenger that went through the wash.

I really want to like these, but the high beltline is killing me. It's the same thing with the new Challenger/Charger/whatever muscle cars. The trend of putting giant wheels on everything is forcing bigger arches, which fores the beltlines higher. Just put 17" wheels on them and give them normal proportions.

The high belt lines are a result of side impact standards. The big wheels are because they are popular and they make the high belt line not look totally ridiculous. I hate the black plastic that tries to hide how tall the body of the Challenger is.

Lots of power from the factory -> bigger brakes to keep lemmings from roasting them -> bigger wheels to fit the brakes. You can meet side impact standards without high beltlines, but it involves creative engineering solutions that tend to piss off firefighters. When your doors contain structural elements that the jaws of life can't cut, you might not be helping much. I don't like the feeling of driving in a bathtub either, that's part of why I love my lifted jeep.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Wait... Nope, badass stagger. Collateral Damage posted:Now those are proper stacks. Fun fact: There was a brief period of time in the late 1960's where modified and supermodified oval short track cars were using virtually the same aluminum big blocks that the McLaren's and Shadow's of Can-Am were using. Eventually the Can-Am cars went to even larger (!) displacements than the mods and supermods had, but I always thought it was funny that I and one of the guys that post in SAS both had fathers who built race cars at the same time. His dad was building these bleeding edge Can-Am and F5000 cars, my dad is building square frame rail dirt modifieds and they both were using the same types of engines, haha

GOD IS BED posted:coolest wheelchair i've seen since Colin Furze's scooter Supermodifieds were literally referred to as "coffins with wheels" here in the northeast back then My dad tells a story of a race in the early 70's at the local track, a flat 5/8ths dirt oval. They ran it in around 17.5 seconds, something like a 130mph average. It took until 2007 to break the track record, but the World of Outlaws smashed it, and it stands at 16.2/144mph now. The race in the 70's was red flagged once due to all the ambulances at the track already dropping drivers off at the hospital. They restarted when one finally returned, needed it again and called the race. It was one of the last times a supermodified ran a dirt oval. Of course, they still ran them on the dirt mile in Syracuse until the mid 1980's.  Of course, you can see the obvious radical development in a supermod from the picture I posted awhile ago and that one, but they both have M&H Racemasters,

For the radiator. Popular in things like global rally cross, because the cars are crashing into each other and it improves weight distribution. That tiny air filter bothers me a bit though. At those kind of power levels the difference between that and nothing or a larger element would be measurable. That's not a filter mate, THIS is a filter

The workmanship on that X3(?) seems pretty janky. Everything in the back seems really poorly cobbled together, although it seems to work. Spare tire isn't mounted to the holder correctly (because the tire is bigger than it was designed for, maybe?), the extinguisher is way too small and not mounted very well, the jack handle is just hanging out on a couple hooks so it'll fall off when you crawl over something, and I'm not sure how well that cage will do if it's ever actually needed. Looks pretty janky where it's tied into the floor in the rear. I hope that fuel cell is tied down better than everything else is.
