No clue who owns it, but it would be destroyed in a day with the streets around here.

Why would someone do this? I would be embarrassed to be seen in this car.

That picture is super old. I believe it has skulls or something painted all over now.

Since nobody here will probably realize or understand, it's on air suspension so it can be raised up to a normal height to drive.

Yes. Because "resale value" is more important than enjoying your car and doing what you want to do. :bertstare:

It is on Air Suspension and with modern technology on Air, they have created track cars that perform flawless around the corners with Air... So if done right its not ruining the car.. i was just curious who owned it to ask about it.. i drive a Lowered Aired out car now and enjoy seeing others take the technology to cars that are rarely seen aired out..

Some people enjoy the Aired out lifestyle..

This Corvette is an embarrassment to be in ! not to mention those ugly oversized Escalade wheels ! I wouldn't even be caught parked next to it ! As for the Ferrari.... too bad you ruined a piece of art ! I sure would love to hear what the Ferrari community have to say about this !

Actually my car is far from stock under the hood..Heads, Cam, Headers and the list goes on.. But I like it stock on the outside ! And to me this Vette and Ferrari are far from something called tastefully done But that's my own opinion and I think most Corvette owners agree with me as I have not met any Corvette owners wanting their ride to be dropped like a 70's Impala low rider with
50" Escalade wheels.

Happen to know the specs on your cam? Oh wait, you have no idea because you bought your car from the previous owner with no info
