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.

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.

>>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.

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..
