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.

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.
>>15326950
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.
>>15326642
>wheel gap
I think you mean "speed gap."
>>15326642
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.
>>15327816
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
>>15327828

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

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

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.

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

>>15326642
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.
>>15326642
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 4chan all the time. It's like everyone thinks all cars stay stock all the time. Children, please.

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

Not as much as the Italians did apparently

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.

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
>>15330648
Do you mean stance as in how the car sits on its wheels or the cancer that is "the stance look"?
>>15332160
Yes, exactly

"Stance" used to mean the former but now it's synonymous with the latter.

This is how much of a newfag you are. Not just on 4chan, but probably the internet in general.

god that photo is awful. a hydrant is growing out of the back of it, and Kansas Health Foundation? The idea for "blurry traffic" is a good one, but the execution is literally Photo 101. What about a night-version with the lights being provided by a long, long exposure, giving you some cool effects and also (hopefully) interesting light across the paint? The lighting is just so bland. It would give such a better effect than some grey shitty cars blurred over the course of 2m to have waited for some sort of shadows or anything more dynamic than what's on display. Awful photo..

I hope this gives you any clues.
Do stancefags build cars so they can take some pictures and then continue to scrape the everliving shit out of it, or do they go full boomer and let the thing sit in some garage until the next anual stancefag meetup?
