As much as I'm into Pro Street cars, just something about the back half of the car doesn't look right. Looks like they didn't narrow the rear enough to actually "tuck" the wheels under the car. That is why it looks like the car is sitting on the rear wheels.

Also I'd be willing to bet they changed the wheelbase of the car... they stretched the wheelwell, but only the back portion, taking away alot of area around the parking light, rather then stretching both the front and back of well.

Just my thoughts on it..
