U.P. Z Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah, that's pretty sweet. I wonder if he has a hood with scoop for it. I think it would look better with it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdmz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Makes me wonder what it would look like to graft the gto nose onto the subtle z fenders??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Should'nt the rims be about 2" wider? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I like the gto nose on the Z regular body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Lots of money in that car. Appears to be a mixture of what he likes best in Z cars and pretty well executed and definitely cool, just not what I'm gonna do. I would like to see time slips for that thing.

Guest levelhead86 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I would like to see time slips for that thing. I'd like to see receipts for that sucker! I say you build them as crazy as you like, as long as it represents you when people see it. If I had unlimited time, money, and space *I don't have a garage at all, incase I hadn't mentioned it before*; my Z'd probably look a lot like Terry's. This one is definately up there, with the attention to detail, and the innovation in how the front end is integrated to a stock-inspired widebody. 10 out of 10!

Tim240z Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Nicely done, but I think the tail lights really cheapen the look of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotegary Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 wild look and i'll bet it all suits him just fine since he built it himself . i like everyones versions of custom...this one is just a little better than most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I ain't skared of no gto bodied supercharged bigole honking engine stickin out tha hood drag car. I say bring that fancy blown street car to the track:) Yes, I said street car, I understand his ultimate goal is to get this car street legal as well as being a damn fast drag car. Bigger rims/wheels/tires???? How big are yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 That thing is badassed! Cheap looking taillights or not, I love it! Does need some wider wheels and tires, but I still like it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have to agree I hate the rearend. The rest looks pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I have to agree also. He could of used some better lights to use up more of the area IMO. But On most cars the rear end is the weak styling point IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Z Bushido Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 ehhh. looks fat too me. too heavy looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Bigger rims/wheels/tires???? How big are yours? What does anyone elses wheel width have to do with this? It's always the same thing on forums, no matter what language or interest: one can't have an opinion unless they've made something better I would never have that amount of space between the wheel and flares. It just looks silly. Either you don't build your flares/fenders that wide, or you get rims (or spacers) and make up for it. That's my opinion anyway =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I agree with Mull, there's too much space between the sidewall and the body. Overall, I think the rear is too wide. But the bodywork is good, and I love that rear hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Just wondering how wide you thought would be correct. So your comment/opinion is that the tire width doesn't match the fender width rather than the tires should be wider. You can have what ever opinion you want, I couldn't care less, I just wasn't clear what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have what ever opinion you want, I couldn't care less, I just wasn't clear what it was. In essence, yes. The main justification I get from people rolling 20"+ rims is that they fill out the wheel well better. Ostensibly, that's the reason for going with wide/fat tires/rims. It's usually about look. I'm not slamming the builders desires, tastes, or preferences. I just think there's too much space and if it were my car, which it's not although it is far nicer than mine, it would bother me.
