No hate to all the stance guys on here but what's the point of "Form over function" cars? i always thought that if the car can't function properly the form is useless. Could someone drop me an explanation kindly please?
I personally think beauty comes from simplicity of design, or in other words, when function>form. When I see a car, I can see how it will perform judging by the stance it has.. And with stanced cars I essentially see like dead cars
I personally am not a fan of slammed cars, and agree entirely with your point. However as Jeremy Clarkson said, cars can be art. And as art doesn’t have to be functional, one could say that slammed cars are an art form. Therefore their inherent flaws (poor handling/scraping) may be a bearable compromise, for what they consider to be beauty. Just sayin’.
I like the look of them, but I would never ever do it to my own car. Many people like the look of them.
I guess sranced and slammed car supposed to be a static monument serving the same purpose as a sculpture or statue…
Some people wants to build performance cars, others want to build show cars.
But then there is also Form + Function. Where the two things meet.
Well if that person is rich enough to have a show car just for organised events or some weekend meets then that’s fine by me. But if you slam your daily then there’s something seriously wrong with you. I personaly don’t have enough money for a daily + show car combo so I try to make my daily to look as good as possible but for it to still remain functional. No matter what the car in question I’d allways try to clean up the lines, debadge it, put some nice rims, a modest drop and for me that would be a perfect mix of form and function unless we’re talking race car stance/mods
