Those wheels kinda look photoshopped to me... unrealistically large and too far into the fender wells. Car looks way too low to be real as well.

Just my opinion, what does every else think?

too bad it doesn't exist, because it looks nice, but it was built in some sort of imaging software. 8+ years of graphic experience.

yeah, there is no way you can turn those front wheels if it was real, would be good for drag, no turns

Gotta be PhotoShopped... look at the position of the lugs on the front and rear wheels. Exactly the same. Unless they jacked it up and turned the front to match the rear, there's almost no chance that'd happen. He he I like the color though...

I gotta agree with the majority, it aint real. But it would be cool.

I think it is possible to get one that low, You would need to cut out or enlarge the fenderwells and install air suspension or hydraulics to drive the sucker.

hmmmm.........

any takers!

White84SE, you're right... I didnt even think about that. If you look at the wheels you can see the reflections in them are exactly the same too. Hmm...
