I would think this would have serious cornering issues leading to excessive tire wear unless they included 4-wheel, uhhhh, scratch that, 6-wheel steering! As a tow vehicle for a racing 928, I think it would look pretty sharp provided the racecar was also speed yellow.............he did say it was rear-ended.

without having really skinny tires on the back, and large tires on the front, yes the car would have massive amounts of understeer when drivig hard.

looks like something they would do in monster garage.

Not to my tastes.

But a pretty impressive custom job nonetheless...

It's in vegas:) If I can get some free time I might go see it. Although I don't know what free time is taking 24 credits and working full time but mabey I can squeze it in somewhere.

If he thinks it handles the same then he doesn't know how to drive.

I think it looks great.

1) I'm not into pick-ups
2) I'm not into conversions

But...if you're going to drive a pick-up, why not have it look like like a sportscar instead of a road hauler.

Bet it handles like a POS, though.
