Modified cars are stupid.

>>15749724
Cars are stupid. Just buy a cheap Corolla to go from A to B and spend that money on something meaningful.

as soon as you modify one of the following
>suspension
>aero
>paint
>windows
>exhaust
you're crossing the line. modifying your engine, brakes, wheels and lights is fine imo.

>>15749724
>chose to go sideways over a speedbump

Keked. I like modified cars, but I do believe modifying them should make them better. Want a low show car? Throw it on bags.. Because dropping it permanently makes the car lessuse able, and to me the trade off makes the car worse overall, hence not a good mod.

>suspension mods being bad
Only if you slam/stance your car, but it there's a legit reason for installing new springs etc. (such as making a trac car) it's fine.

Its only bad to slam your car if you are pussy who cries when it scrapes.

Only things I changed on my 2015 V6 Mustang was Borla S-Type exhaust, intake, window tint and wheels. No suspension modifications.

>>15749753

Windows is an easy mod though - at least tints are.

A car is more than A-to-B transportation for me. It's my home away from home, a statement about my personality and part of my style presentation. Every man in my family is a car enthusiast on some level. I couldn't imagine using it like a soulless appliance.

>I couldn't imagine using it like a soulless appliance.

I like cars too but I also see the appeal of this. Save your money and spend it on other things like travel and entertainment expenses. You can always just get a Corolla and tint the windows and get a nice set of wheels to feel special.

Running hot/cold water and an inverter are great amenities to have, and when I'm done travelling in this baby I'll sell it for more than I bought it for due to the upgrades.

You two are looking for the terms Rotational Mass or Rotational Inertia and Angular Velocity. It takes work (for the drive train) to rotate a mass (the wheel) around its center of axis (the hub). There is less work involved to rotate a 15" wheel than it is for an 18" wheel, that are both made of the same exact material.

The material and geometry of the wheel will dictate performance. Brake cooling, caliper clearance and aerodynamics (lmao), are all irrelevant arguments to the performance gains of a wheel set and you should feel bad for trying to argue about that. This is high school/freshman college level physics...it's not entirely hard to understand.
