Drive it like that long and you will be stranded on the side of the road with destroyed U-joints or a drive shaft poking thru your car.

reminds me of the mexican camaros ive seen here in phoenix.. or s-10s or anything really. they jack up up way high.. and that looks weird to me. a slight rake is nice but not too much.  :hypno:

With that Whale Tail spoiler on the back once you reach 300+ MPH the down force will justify (eliminate) that extreme rake.  It is a wonderful engineering forthought on your part.  ::)

Only thing I see that it needs is the frount end up to match the back and 24" rims put on with low profile tires .Maybe throw in a big BOOM box.I'm not kidding been looking at some 20" rims myself. My thinking is that it will be easier to get underneath if I need to work on anything. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The hood and side decals? I like. The rest? Nope. But you gotta do what you like & screw the rest. Keep it up man  :)

Make it your own, but since everyone else has an opinion, here's mine.  I would do slightly less rake and a nice big set of aluminum slot rims that stick way out the sides in the back, especially since you do not have to worry about hitting the rear wheel wells.  give it that 70's muscle look.

You mean something like this? Gotta love the 24's. All it needs now is a chrome fart pipe and a pic nic table wing.

I have to be honest with you nollid, I don't like it. I feel it is foolish and very dangerous and it might even be illegal. Do what you want, I'm just an old man who loves Pinto TOO much.

20s might look better than the 24s but thats just MY opinion. ive been lookin for some of the 17 inch chrome cobra R wheels from the fox body stangs. i think they will look pretty good on my little orange beast! :lol:
