Excuse me for presuming that most people on a MUSCLE CAR forum would like fat tires on their MUSCLE CAR!!!! Geez...the nerve or some people lol....

Besides, I know when I got my wheels stretched and 315's put on them, it was more for looks than anything else.

Nissan saw that Toyota did it with great success. There was even one model of the Lexus that looked like a Camry but the Lexus was a whole different animal by and large.

Yeah, I purposely bought an Infiniti over this BMW 3 series I was interested in because after I test drove the BMW and talked to a friend who owns one.... I came to a realization that the snobby name brand is just a smoking gun, in the end it's just a car.... The 3 series I test drove had wicked over boosted steering and rode worse than a recent Mini Cooper Clubman S I rode in, the interior was sparse like an economy car and there was no luxury amenities(leather is an option, as is heated/power seats, all in a car that starts out in the mid-30s). I wanted to have a luxury car without the stereotypical obnoxious "Look at how rich I am" type facet, I wanted a practical driver's car that stood out in a crowd in a good way(with plenty of amenities). Hence I used to own a 2006 Acura RL(bought it used of course, it loses half of it's value, $25k, within a matter of 2-3 years. The G is a Nissan badged product, but why the hell should I care ? I mean when I used to own my Acura I looked at Infiniti's the same way(cheap interiors, unrefined, etc.) But you know what? It looks great and drives great, gets me from point a to point b and that's what really matters...

I use to have a 335i sedan with intake heads and exhaust, and it handled just as gooda s my camaro.... Which is lowered. Not to mention the interior was much nicer and the car sounded pretty badass for an inline 6.
