Default Why?

oddly enough, I was performing a search for an Ascari background, and this came up into the mix of pictures!?



I know its heavily modified, but why so fugly!?

It is probably all personal preference, but to me, ASM ruined a perfectly good looking car and turned it into Herman Hunster!

Function over form?

Doesn't look like it's the sort of S that has been modified just because they think it looks pretty.

Somewhere under all of that gubbins the soul of a car is quietly weeping.

That car has something like 340bhp.

On Tsukuba back straight it was pulling 186Km/h.

The Skylines it was beating were pulling 225-230Km/h.

That says enough really
