Okay, so here on Oppositelock there is a lot of stance hate. Some of you may know my opinion on this, many of you do not. I pose to you this question: What car, above all other cars, would you rather see receive a proper viking funeral than see stanced? What car would make you contemplate an early farewell to this green Earth if it drove by you throwing sparks with hella camber? What car would be the opitome of those-damn-kids-have-taken-it-too-far?
I promise I’m not going to use this thread simply to farm ideas for which car to buy and stance. I don’t have enough money to be that much of a sadist.

anything of the supercar variety should NEVER be stanced, lowered is fine

LM002. Or any vehicle that loses its main purpose to stancing (any offroader, for example).

No hate, to each their own.
But my least favorites are 4wd versions when 2wd are available.
But then again people done buy a car for a look, they but the car then start modifying it to their liking. Kind of a work with what you have.

Pretty much any vintage luxury car.

Or any Ferrari, really. But this one would probably be the most offensive somehow - just modern enough to be a potential threat but classicist enough to be the most debased.

Anything prewar.

Then I’m so sorry. A guy I know has an ST165 and I’d be willing to bet it gets stanced once it runs, just like his base model Focus.

All of them.
But really, I'd hate to see anyone stance my dream car, the Ferrari F40 (even though it would be hard to).

Also E Type (yes, it’s a real E Type)

I saw this on Instagram, and I have mixed feelings.
On one hand, it’s different. On the other hand, different isn’t always good.

I would not care to ever see a stanced one of these.
The other car on my “hunt down and buy after winning the lottery” list, the incomparable Citroën DS, with no modifications from the way it came from the factory, actually
stances itself
every time you switch it off.

I agree with For Canada. Leave the classics alone. The thought of a stanced Aston DB5 makes me want to cry.

We had a BRAT that left under the same circumstances. It was field drifts or food. Luckily this was bought by a guy who had been looking for years for one to fully restore.

Please spare the Lotuses.
You can have your JDM cars, American muscle, even European sports cars.
But please avoid stancing a bare-bones track car.
And the Caterhams. Leave them alone too.

I’m ok with it.
I was meaning 4wd trucks.

Oh. Well I don’t frequent enough 4x4 forums to be able to think of any 4wd to 2wd conversions off the top of my head, but maybe this will work
![]() 09/07/2015 at 21:32 |

Bigger wheels (up to a certain realistic point) actually work well on a Testarossa. Those side strakes are such a powerful styling element that the rest of the car needs something which can stand up to it, and those 16” originals are looking kinda weak to contemporary sensibilities.
Not so sure about the slammed part, tho.
![]() 09/07/2015 at 21:32 |

It’s not like the AWD does any good when it’s slammed
![]() 09/07/2015 at 21:34 |

I really don’t have a problem with that either. Looks good. Probably easy to get into / out of.
I don’t frequent 4x4 forums either, just wouldn’t make sense to me to neuter a 4wd truck, but like before, I'd spend my money differently.

Do you know how useful AWD would be in one of those videos where a car gets stuck on a curb and someone needs to push down on the rear of it so the tire would actually touch?
Very useful, Jake.

Well in that case it looks like we can be friends. I really like the way that Ford looks. Not a big fan of the wheels on the Chevy though.

It's not a commitment issue. I personally don't want to be on the side of the road replacing an oil pan. I'm ok with stance as long as you're smart about it.

Meh I don’t really mind the S type, most of the ones I see are trashed anyway since they’re worth about £3. That E type at least isn’t too low or cambered and it’s on wire.

Nope. That one’s a real 300sl as far as I can tell.

Any Audi at all. It would make sense because of Quattro, but still
