Wide body supercars. A rant
So widebodies. First thing to point out is that I’m not totally against body kits in general. They can really enhance the look of a car especially JDM . Nor do I think that they ruin supercar’s looks. Granted then do sometimes maybe ruin some cars like the Honda NSX but most look ok.
The real problem is functionality. People not using supercars like they should be which is on the track isn’t a rarity. Seeing a Ferrari or Lambo on a track day is a miracle to see cars like that being raced but most of the time these cars are in the hands of non car enthusiasts who probably don’t even know the power output of their car. Now Bodykits absolutely ruin the chance of these high performance cars being raced ever. They just sit at car shows. These beautiful vehicles with some pretty cool body kits but never will they race or be driven properly like they should. It’s a shame to see cars to go to waste because of owners. “When was the last time you saw an Arabian race their car?” Probably never. However I’m not against JDM bodykits. These look pretty good and cars with them actually are raced and drifted. In fact I believe some old Japanese race cars used RB kits as they made them more aerodynamic.
Generally the people who like widebody supercars are probably 10-14 and would refer to these cars as “that’s so sick” these are also the people who hate hondas and call them rice. Let me just remind you that RICE stands for Race inspired cosmetic enhancements. So on those old Japanese race cars bodykits aren’t riced. But on these Supercars they are. They are widebody kits inspired by racing cars e.g Nissan GT-R and are no more than cosmetic enhancements. Especially those big wangs and skirts. Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think about widebody cars!

actually the kind of car you rant about have a function for their owners, and for the RICE topic, i think that any race car that were used only on the street (+street legal) could logically be called RICE, because rice stands for race inspired cosmetic enhancements, if it weren’t used for racing, it could be called RICE isn’t? that’s only my opinion, and i dont really like the term rice is still used today because it’s mainly used for insult. also im not the type to judge someone else’s car, i used to hate “riced” car and always judge any car that i see, but now, i dont think it is a good thing because if we keep that manner. the car society would only be diminished
If I ever bought a supercar, I’d never take it on a track. Too much money at stake. Instead, I’d buy a cheap RWD car for track use only. I like RICE. A lot. And I wouldn’t say no to a widebody supercar, however if it were me, I’d put it on air suspension and put some 19/20” stretched 3SDMs. That’s how I’d like my car, after all it’s my car.
