I agree. How are you getting better traction from a dead or from a roll? If you are running giant spacers, you may have increased the roll stability by setting your rear tires that much farther apart than stock, but other than that, I don't see how traction would be improved.

Is it true that people in Dubai wipe their wide body rears with American $100 bills while protesting America sucks and driving our cars?

I think it kinda ruins the lines of the rear quarters. I'm with Dark Overlord, it reminds me of a dually. That said, if you like it that's all that matters.

A perfect quote to portray the ugly American stereotype! I've travelled to Dubai several times on business and there is no apparent anti-American sentiment. They rely largely on trade, commerce, and tourism for their income (not oil) so it's in their best interest to have a good relationship with the U.S., and they do. Besides, Mfahhad could of spent his money on any car, and he chose not only to buy a Z06 but to participate on this forum... I don't think that shows an "America sucks" attitude. Sorry to get so far off the topic of the thread but it needed to be said.

I have seem more protests in the US than in Dubai. You are free to post such remarks, but since they are of no benefit to any corvette owner, better find the right forum and post all you want.

Your car sounds great. I always see you post that it's just a custom setup. Are you willing to share any more info on it? Also, the LED taillights look great. +1 on who makes them/where to get them...?

Not a fan... Looks like you are trying too hard to stand out... If you are running spacers, then it is unsafe as well... Just my my 2 cents; its your money...

While we're being ignorantly offensive......

Is it true that people in Mississippi can't speak proper English, don't receive education past the third grade, live in trailer parks, cruise family reunions for dates, hate black people, buy 250k houses on 40k a year and are thus responsible for the credit crisis, and can't beat a bunch of South Carolina ***** in football?

And he's not even from Dubai. He's from Riyadh. KSA and the UAE are two different countries. Dubai is about 500 miles away from Riyadh. Stop talking, you're making America look bad.

Yes, all you said about Mississippi is true.

I like the wide body rear, but I think you should modify the front as well to balance it off.

I'm waiting for someone to do a wide body with the ALMS paint scheme, minus the decals.
Bet you that would be sick looking. AJ's is LMB and it looks like it should be in the series as well

Nobody needs to explain how cultures are
some are bad and some are good even here in Saudi you find a handful of uneducated ignorant racist people

i dont judge some one as a country or race or culture a bad person is a bad person its not what color passport he has

thank you for the great comment though
