Was bored so I photoshopped a pic...

I was bored so I photoshopped an old pic of my 2013. It's been color corrected, a little bit on the high contrast, rich saturation side for more impact. I also gave her a little drop.

let me know what you think...

Thanks, when next time I'll use my gopro for a better shot, and try my hand at a glamour shot.

hmm so that's how people live with "slammed" cars... keep it at a reasonable height in real life and drop it using photoshop!

For sure, I would love to have my Z with a "DTM" stance with almost no ground clearance!

Did you ever see the stance nation videos? There are some pretty dope shoe box and e85's. The shoe box were tastefully done, great wheel fitment, slammed but not tire tucking all around.

When I lived in Danbury I used to roll tire tucked, but these NYC streets are brutal!!! I still love the look though. WIsh there was an e89 with a bit of stance attitude.

I had serious ground clearance issues in my old Integra GS-R while driving on the Belt back in the day and have kept reasonable ride height since then

NYC is just not a nice place for car enthusiasts overall. Between the thieves, bad roads and winter... it is so hard to keep anything nice there.

Move to West Coast

BTW, when I switched to Dunlop ZII in the 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 size the squared off shoulders of the tire and larger overall tread block (they run wide relative to tires of similar advertised size) cleaned up the wheel wheels a bit without needing to touch the ride height. Not as good as a proper drop obviously, but something to keep in mind if you need the ground clearance...

Yea man, totally. In a straight line it would slow. But I think there's some fun to be had on tight corners or short sprints. There's one leg of road which I loved from the end of 684 Brewster NY to the Fairfield CT . It was up hill and windy. That high revving B18 was a lot of fun.
