What defines a "hot" car. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Buster · 07-12-2008, 12:32 AM

I'm just curious to what the tuner world has come to. I dunno if I am getting old or something but I just dont get the trends anymore. I was raised on the ideal that less is more. I think I hold to it very well. But I also enjoy going against the grain, staying away from whats popular and making it work. I also feel like a car should have an even balance performance and style. What does TST think a great car is defined by.

the size of the wing.

the bigger the wing the hotter the car...aluminum wings ftw!

D.K. · 07-12-2008, 12:39 AM

extremely big spoiler, a bad ass body kit, lots of stickers so you cant see the paint on the car, some 22's, loud system with no base, almost forgot the seat covers and multi color under glow! ps: sorry to all the ppl i offend.

fballman1987 · 07-12-2008, 12:46 AM

focal wheel, shogun & black widow kit, and supra spoilers ahhh...... those were the good old days. I see alot more sleepers these days.

CarbonIS · 07-12-2008, 12:53 AM

it depends on the car, i don't think there's anything that can be generally stated for a hot car.
you just kind of know it when you see it. But whether or not your car is hot to you is really all that matters.

Buster · 07-12-2008, 12:56 AM

haha I like my car, thats not the question! No dancing!

Rey The Great · 07-12-2008, 12:58 AM

hot..hmm..well modified car, no stickers all over the place..just done plain and simple.

smokey240sx · 07-12-2008, 01:02 AM

i don't mind stickers unless its a hardcore track only car. Not the free K&N sticker everyone gets.

[sr20]sean · 07-12-2008, 01:16 AM

He asked for hot, I delivered.

sean3 · 07-12-2008, 05:42 AM

What makes a car hot from the factory or what makes a car hot when modded/personalized?

omgjacki · 07-12-2008, 08:32 AM

I think wheels and fitment make the car. Just my opinion. I can't stand black wheels with the chrome/polished lip, though.
Body kits are EW but a subtle lip makes it look great, also.
I agree with Bill about it depending on the car, though. Just because a Daewoo has nice wheels, doesn't classify it as hot.
