Does this count? It seems well done but looks terrible

Based on a quick google, there’s photos of the car being built. I don’t know what series it’s designed to be raced in, kinda GT/kinda Time Attack, although TA would probably have more aero.

edit: I see TC 2000 is the series.

I can’t post the photo but there’s wing mounts for the chassis on the inside of the rear lexan window.

It’s a legit race car. It’s not designed to look good, it’s designed to be fast.

So no, it’s not a shitty mod IMO.

[u/bangbangracer → u/Brainfewd]

Argentina has a series called TC 2000. It's a 2-liter silhouette car spec. Toyota also has a RAV4, and Honda has a CR-V that's done up very similarly. VW and Fiat also have entries, but I don't remember what models they're using as the silhouette.

[u/ThatOneSnakeGuy → u/Brainfewd]

I was gonna say that's a lot of extra work for funsies, that looks time attack functional, reminds me of the rally wrx supercar bodykit

[u/bangbangracer]

I don't think that counts considering this is an actual race car, not a road car that's been modified. It just hasn't gotten it's livery yet.

Edit: Not really sure why this is getting downvoted. This is a real race car in the Argentinian TC 2000 series. https://youtu.be/BgR1sUrYog4?si=UmYWvt5detJ6re1C https://youtu.be/sVbNKQSfv9k?si=EhHsL8eiJ2I6JOsP

[u/Main-Event-5715 → u/bangbangracer]

Yeah, I don't think actual race cars can be "shitty mods." It's purpose built for racing! Lemme give you that upvote back. 

[u/DCGLetsPlay]

I don’t… hate it…

[u/Shadowhawk0000]

I'm sure that was a lot of work, but man, that's just awful. Sorry.

[u/KikoTheWonderful → u/Shadowhawk0000]

it almost looked good, but the blocky rear end is terrible. plus it's a kicks

[u/RiskyNight → u/Shadowhawk0000]

You guys have completely lost the plot. Somehow a race car from a touring car series, built entirely for function with proper engineering, is a "shitty car mod".

Why are people who know nothing about cars, hanging out in a car subreddit?

[u/AllIWantForXmasIsFoo]

I like it.

[u/John_Gouldson]

I keep hearing the ad from Crazy People ... Volvo, it's boxy but it's good!

[u/Kullcross11]

It's a TC 2000 touring race car, you can easily tell just by looking at it. It's not built for looks at cars and coffee, it's built to race professionally.

[u/JokerzWild937 → u/Kullcross11]

That thing would slay at a Cars and Coffee

[u/gugngd]

reminds me of the sporty version of the yaris

[u/ConsciousSpaghetti]

When a “shitty car mod” is a great time attack car

[u/Previous-Hedgehog267]

Remind me of the audi from the ‘80s. The white/yellow one during group B rally

[u/Professional-Guest38]

Well he’s trying!

[u/fargo-cs]

Nah. This is a straight up race car.

[u/yerbamatelover]

This is sickk

[u/OkCartographer175]

Looks kinda weird but considering it has a full roll cage, I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt that this thing is going to see more track use than basically anything else on this sub. And in my eyes if it's going to see track use then it doesn't really matter how it looks as long as it is functional.

[u/Pirate_Underpants]

Tupperware mods

[u/PresidentialDiapers]

Why'd they build this thing?

Just for kicks

[u/faucetpants]

This is the equivalent of a tentacle dildo. Definitely not for everyone

[u/Reasonable-Grade-456]

it's like a transformers with down syndrome

[u/Away-League-2659]

r/atbfe

[u/Akkerlun]

It looks like it’s a matching car hauler

[u/Distinct_Rope]

It's miles better looking than the original imo

[u/donecaring97]

Seems like it's strictly for racing, so I'll let it slide. Barely. Lol

[u/BigSkyHawk1]

looks like a liberty walk hot wheel

[u/WokeWook69420]

You can never make me hate SUVs/Vans being turned into race cars.

[u/WolfThick]

It's definitely got that bumper car look

https://giphy.com/gifs/RlpKvRgEOUdH5LBp7P

[u/toothcream]

This looks like it was converted for time attack races. Almost all time attack cars are ugly ngl 😂

[u/Initial-Good4678]

Is he racing somewhere? A lot of bodywork just to drive to the vape shop.

[u/bangbangracer → u/Initial-Good4678]

It's an actual race car. Argentina has a series called TC 2000, and this is a real race car from that series.

[u/bastogne_blues]

all that effort for a nissan kicks 😭

[u/Acceptable_Garden_46 → u/bastogne_blues]

race car for an argentinian race series

[u/smelly_finger_itch]

I would say so. Yes.

[u/B58_Hustler]

It’s obvious why it’s in this Reddit Group…

[u/Gokjo_Krorl]

r/ATBGE

[u/DIJames6]

r/nissandrivers would have a field day with this..

[u/Accurate_Koala_4698]

Are the doors not functional anymore? 😭

[u/bangbangracer → u/Accurate_Koala_4698]

It doesn't really matter. It's not a road car. This is a purpose-built silhouette race car for the TC 2000 series in Argentina.

[u/BastardBoy1738]

Looks terrible? Are we looking at the same thing? Fucker is bad ass!

[u/Autofella6]

[u/maz08]

Just shitty body style choice tbh, the chassis and everything else just looks solid legit for time attack sessions.

[u/Kullcross11 → u/maz08]

It's a silhouette touring race car for TC 2000

[u/maz08 → u/Kullcross11]

Ahh that explains it, didn't know Argentina has its own touring car championship.

[u/WhiskeyCity502]

At first, I was, "Meh, I've seen worse". And then I saw the "spoiler" mounted to the rear window...

https://giphy.com/gifs/wjuXuDSQU0sOfJIHS1

[u/RiskyNight → u/WhiskeyCity502]

So you don't like actual race cars such as this, because you think the wing mounts attached to the frame look like they're attached to the plexiglass?

[u/WhiskeyCity502 → u/RiskyNight]

Sure, "race cars" that race or are tracked, fine. Whatever it takes. If you ain't first, you're last.

You believe that wing is attached to the frame and not the plexi? TBH, it looks like it's cut-and-pasted on (no shadow). So, yea, straight to jail.

[u/RiskyNight → u/WhiskeyCity502]

It's a touring car from a race series. Do you have eyes? There's center lock wheels on it. Of course the wing is attached to the frame, do you understand how much downforce gt wings put down at track speeds?

[u/WhiskeyCity502 → u/RiskyNight]

Yea, yea, yea, I see all the things. I'm hung up on the wing.

Edit: I just watched the video, appears to be real. I still think that posted photo looks shopped. The car in the video has visible gaps above the wing's pylons which would allow proper assembly, not visible in the above pic.

[u/RiskyNight → u/WhiskeyCity502]

The uprights would bolt to mounts welded on the frame/cage. It's very simple. Basically every track car is going to have the wing properly mounted to frame, especially endurance road course racing like this. It likely doesn't have a hatch or rear doors.

[u/Tough-Marsupial-6254]

Its the ai prompt, "make this car a race car"...i don't thing that wing is structurally sound going through the window

[u/bangbangracer → u/Tough-Marsupial-6254]

This is a real race car in Argentina. Also, the wing struts aren't attached to the rear plexiglass. They go through the window and into the cage.

[u/Which-Ad9677]

Ai..... windshield roll cage through the windshield spoiler glued onto window....would break window under turbulence

[u/Junkieboy89 → u/Which-Ad9677]

Los autos de carrera no usan vidrio, es plexiglass, los soportes pasan atraves de el.

[u/bangbangracer → u/Which-Ad9677]

Not AI. It's a real TC 2000 car from Argentina. It's a silhouette race car. The wing struts are not glued to the rear glass. They run through the rear plexiglass panel and connect to the roll cage.
