My track car is like that. Lower 3/4" with big tires, 245s out back and SC flairs. Painted Viper Green, tunnel cut up to install a 935 shifting rods. Oil line running through the interior and a big old Mazda oil cooler under the nose. Dash Plastic dash cut outs for the breather lines. Now its will be turned back into a very aggressive street car. Drove it to a local air cool cars and coffee and some new guys (I go once a year while they meet up monthly) gave me **** about cutting up a perfectly good long hood. He has a completely stock 71 T and kept telling me how sad it is for him to see another car gone to the wayside. I roll my eyes. I bet he was still getting his learner's permit when I started this project. The stock cars were not fast, and needed a bit more tires to get them to go fast. Nothing wrong doing mods. Now, it they are tastefully done, that is up for pages of debate here or over barrels of beer and we will never get an answer.
Certain age group have different taste in their auto design. My kid and I went to the largest car show in CA, San Clemente, and saw a couple older 911s. One was a 72 car with a 3.6 made to look like 3.0 RSR with fat rear fenders. He seems to like it and it drew a huge crowd. I like them too, but jsut not that one. People will do what the do and sometimes make a few bucks, just like that RWB guy cutting up fenders and install but fenders. Some people seem to like them but they aren't my taste. They look OK from 7 miles away but up close, they are just ok. Saw a couple at Rennsport followed one out the gate onto the hwy. Nothing to write home about really. I don't approve nor do I disapprove of it.
