think some of the cars there have over-exaggerated "ricer" features as a way to poke fun at tuner cars. kinda like a parody or a spoof.

Yeah, whole thing looks like yet another of those weird Japanese fads that kinda got out of hand - those cow-catchers and tailpipes are just crazy enough that the Japs would go for it. Those nuts... you gotta hand it to 'em, they really go in for their fads. Makes our hula hoops, pet rocks, etc. look lame. lol

nope... never was a bmw... look at the door line in the rear... it's a typical acura line, however i can't tell if that is an acura, but it's neither BMW nor a Benz

For some people. Bondo should be outlawed.

As for the japanese pics. Sad part is... Within a few months some ricers around here will start doing that to their cars.

You guys just dont know, these guys are clearly fans of the old group B rally cars!

Lancia 037



MG Metro



Audi S1




Peugeot 405




Peugeot 205



Ford RS 200



Lancia Delta S4




Now this is what its all about, for instance, the Lancia Delta S4 could accelerate to 60mph in 2.3 seconds on a gravel road. Henri Toivonen drove an S4 around Estoril, the Portuguese Grand Prix circuit, so quickly that he would have qualified sixth for the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix. Nigel Mansell sampled a Peugeot 205 T16 and said it could out-accelerate his F1 car.

Maurice Guaslard, former head of Michelin's rally program, 1986
Rallying has reached a point such that the speed limitation is the profile of the road. If everything goes right for the drivers, there is no more than two or three seconds of difference on a stage. Which means the judge is not the car, the tires, or the drivers - it is the road. They cannot go any faster!

I can appreciate those racecars. And the bodywork behind them. But I didn't see one single 14 foot long exhaust pipe on those rally cars.
