Do you mean stock cars, or ridiculous modifications? I can't think of many pointles cars out of the factory, but many modifications are hideous and render the car undriveable on anything but the smoothest of race tracks, like the trend for "slamming" cars to the ground and ridiculous wheel cambers
My thoughts were mainly re modded vehicles.

Asking any engineers/mechanical types. out of interest, if those wheels were made from the same material as "normal" alloy wheels, at that size would they be able to cope with the weight? Or doesn't the size matter? Or might they actually be stronger becasue the spokes are closer together?

YouTube has got to be the best place to spot these. Sure you can put a V12 in an old 190 but why?

Same applies here, a supercharged V8 in an old Roller. To save you watching all the episodes first time out it destroyed the transmission:

They are perfect for their designed function.
Yes, they wouldn’t be very good as a family run around but that isn’t their function.

Because you can. Which, overall, is a good thing IMHO.

I agree and I love watching these conversions but it doesn’t make them any less pointless or impractical
