Heh, exactly. I would never go THAT low, but IMHO, I think it's pretty trick looking. Imagine if that little sucker had a nice beefy 302 or something in it, haha. A ground hugging, drag stripping, piece of Detroit and Japan all mixed into one to make a sweet little 1/4 mile machine.

That pic was originally done by Cyrk I believe. I just cropped in my VX to see how it would look in black. Pimping out and tricking out a car are 2 different things in my book.

I actually kinda like it...just don't see mine that way! Definately looks more "carish". I've always (secretly) thought that the VX reminds me of when it was popular to take a car and put it on a 4x4 frame (usually jeep). Years ago I used to see Camaro's and other sports cars up on a 4x4 chassis. When the VX came out, it reminded me of this. I feel that if you took a Mitsubishi Eclipse and put it on a RAV 4 chassis you would have something that resembles/reminds you of the VX. I could enjoy looking at someone elses like this...but, I feel to give up ride height and all it's advantages would not be worth it too me personally. Would be neat to have 2 VX's...one set up stock or lifted and the other lowered!......okay 4 VX's....one stock...one lifted...one lowered...and a VX-O2 convertible!!!!!!!!!!!

In my dreams!

I think it sorta takes me back to when the Typhoon and Cyclone came out. We always consider "trucks" and "SUVs" to be 4X4's. With the Typhoon, they pretty much said "Hey, even a truck can be fast and sporty, without having to be a mudder." I liked their approach, even if I wasnt a fan of the Typhoon and Cyclone. Heck, years ago, someone even took a Countach engine and stuck it in a Hummvee. There is really no limit that you can take a car/truck to. Sure, too much and it starts to look like a fingerpainting by a 3 year old, but just enough and it can look like one heck of a ride. Take the Mooncraft for example. Now that cat had intentions on making somehting NOBODY had. He succeeded and it came out very nice.... even if I dont agree with the color.

I am all for a nice 2 inche drop... N1 one was looking into some springs for me when he got sick.
But it would look great...
