It's not my car, I'm not paying for the work, etc ... but ... I just can't understand why someone would do that to a sports car. If you want to destroy the handling, do it to a sedan. YMMV

Nice contact patch
The exposed rim is perfect for grinding those curbs, too

These cars just keep getting cheaper, huh?
Dear Santa, I would like nothing this year for Xmas but for this fool to be a member here and come in to defend this partial birth abortion of a build.

He's being flamed on Facebook about it, and has a lot of supporters too saying all sorts of idiotic "It's not your car" "It's unique" blah blah blah...

It took me a solid minute to convince myself it wasn't on stands with wheels just leaning against it.
I am all for the "Its your car, do what you want with it" sentiment... but I have a hard time empathizing with this kind of choice. Am I that old already?

Somewhere, there is a tree. And this tree spends all of its time producing oxygen so the owner of this car can breathe. He owes that tree an apology.

I don't think age has much to do with it. Forty years ago, we would jack up the back of a pony car for that quarter-miler look. It degraded handling, but most Mustangs/Camaros/Chargers/etc didn't handle worth a damn to start with. The 370Z is one of the better (if not the best) handling cars I've driven. Just seems a shame to ruin that.
And it goes beyond just good handling - it's unsafe. I'm surprised that one can legally run a setup like that on the street. Or is that meant to be a show car? The older I get, the more function-over-form I become. Ie, carbon-fiber components are good; carbon-fiber overlays, not so much.
