I never liked the tucked look myselfagreed some take it too far, but you cant argue the function of the "tucked" tireshttp://image.popularhotrodding.com/f/32060191/1103phr_14_o+1978_pontiac_trans_am+optima_ultimate_street_car_invitational.jpgThose don't looked tucked to me....not like the other pics where half the tires is hidden by the wheel well

I apologize for them being Camaros, but they're 2G with 'em tucked. I dream of tucking the wheels on my T/A like this.http://www.socalcustoms.com/Shows/2011/Showfest/pages/306.htm or http://www.socalcustoms.com/Shows/2011/GoodguysLonestar/pages/DSC_3541.htm
I'm an aggressive driver- no way I could live with a ride height that low. I believe the Socal ricer kids call that "hella dumped"- looks cool on the fairgrounds but strictly for cruisers. Why anyone would want to copy a look most ricers and imports sport is beyond me.Genohttp://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hella+dumped&go=&qs=n&sk=&sc=8-7&form=QBIR
hahaha..Yeah...getting ready for take-off
Justin,I've been into 2nd gen Birds and T/A's for close to 30 years now- I'm well aware of the latest aftermarket suspension upgrades available for our Firebirds and TA's. My 72 Bird was set up for road race over 20 years ago, well before all of this trick suspension gear became available. I'm looking forward to upgrading my set up to current standards, and seeing how much better the new stuff really is.I know it's more esthetically pleasing to have a performance car that's lowered and yet has a suspension that is capable of full suspension travel- that does require an exhaust that is strategically tucked under the car. Many Pro-touring TA's and Firebirds have a lowered stance, wide 18" or larger wheels, and trick suspension setups which allow the suspension to articulate without the tires rubbing. But I doubt the "hella dumped" sports cars could even keep up w/ me on a twisty road- if they gotta slow down for driveway ramps and speed bumps, how are they gonna handle wavy, roads with dips and bumps at full speed?Geno
ahhhhh.....it's good to have dreams. Wow! This is the sickest T/A I have ever laid my eyes on. Earlier pics were in post #49 of this thread, but I just can't get enough of this beast.http://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?78263-trans-am&p=869664#post869664
