Do you know what “concept” cars are? They are quite literally design exercises to display potential new styling concepts for future models. Some are closer to production-ready than others, but many completely ignore safety and practicality.  I could paste a dozen example pictures here from any given auto show, but…

Yes and yes. Although I assume these articles are for people who don’t/haven’t driven in real snow. Grow up with it and it’s second nature, but imports struggle. My wife being one this year as her first Michigan winter... she’s terrified (she’s a nervous driver as-is).

You didn’t disprove anything I said. What you said is correct, but what was your point? Please note key words of “basically”, “consider”, and “similar”. Those words were used specifically because they are not absolutes. I am fully aware of the differences between the Z33 and Z34. But in the enthusiast world, for all…

He’s pulling a Sonic. Show the ugly version, hear uproar, reveal “reworked” version that actually looks like a truck. It’s brilliant!

DISCLAIMER: I do not think the Sonic thing was a ruse nor do I think there is any other design for this thing, Musk is that crazy.

Bronze/gold wheels are fabulous. Best on red/white/blue. Ehhh on black/grey.

Gloss + clean + direct light = pop, obviously.  But wheels will never be clean, the sun goes down and can be covered by clouds, and more often than not they’ll not pop unless it’s a garage queen.

Steelies can be cool on rat roddy sort of cars, I won’t deny that.  But not on six figure SUVs and 23 inches in diameter.

The wheels are part of the car, just like brakes, windows, lighting, interior, etc. Color choice is part of design, and just like certain colors make certain cars pop because of various design choices in creases/swoops/angles, so do colors of wheels. Black hides shapes, especially on the part of the car most likely to…

This is why black wheels are horrible - they show no detail. The less space and more wheel, the worse it is. From any sort of distance and especially when rolling these would look like steelies. I don’t know how anyone finds them attractive. Unique, maybe. But not attractive.

If a sandwich is good or bad is up to the person buying (or not buying) the sandwich, right? Different people like different sandwiches for different reasons. Just because you’d never eat a particular sandwich doesn’t preclude you from feeling things about it.

I’ll fix your analogy. It’s like going to a restaurant that used to make your favorite sandwich and after years have put it back on the menu, except when you order it now, they just open their Door Dash app and have it delivered from another restaurant to the back door where they unwrap it, put it in their own bag,…

Old acquaintance ran carbon fiber HREs on his 1k+ hp GT-R built by AMS. Fastest car I’ve ever launched in and it isn’t even close.

Bah Kinja messing up my replies.

I run Forgestar CF5s, 18x10 and under 20lbs per wheel.  They’re pretty cheap.  And there are much lighter ones out there in the same price range like the legendary RPF1s.  Traditional materials can still get very light and strong wheels at a fraction of this price... yet there are still…

My ‘91 Cutlass Supreme coupe had one as well.

Wheels are great, my eye jumped right to them.  Nitpicking though they clash with the rattlecan paint job...

That was my thought as well. I get that he already had the speakers lying around, but unless there is a legal issue with Clarion, sell that stuff and put it towards the build.  You can get a BT speaker plenty powerful enough to fill that tin can for under $100 these days.

Hi. You don’t seem to be too familiar with the Z car, so some background for you: the Z34 is so similar to the Z33 in specs and parts that most consider it a refresh more than an outright new model. This is why I used the word “basically” in my post. The Z33 debuted as a 2003 MY car with production starting in 2002.…

To be fair to the 370 (which is hard), for basically an 18 year old car... it’s performance numbers aren’t THAT far behind. The Supra is about 3300 lbs, 335/365 hp/tq, and does low 4's to 60 and low 12's in the quarter. The Z34 is about 3400 lbs, 325/270 hp/tq, does high 4's to 60 and low 13's in teh quarter.

So yeah…

As for burn-in, we typically rotate pictures every few days just for fun. Considering the rate at which display tech is advancing, by the time this thing has any display issues due to constant use, it will be past obsolete and sold on craigslist anyway. Who has 10 year old TVs?

Something to think about if you’re doing over the fireplace is that for the illusion to work, you want this thing flat on the wall. Usually TVs mounted above a fireplace want to be able to swivel to angle down towards your seat; but The Frame only comes with a flush mount and was meant to be mounted that way to the…
