Phatest SL55 Ever

Tuned by a company called Kleeman. Have some really nice stuff.
I'll put the link for the website up in a second.

Sorry, but those doors look incredibly stupid. My bet is the first West Coast rapper that buys one of those is going to knock himself out cold opening the door to get in.

"Hey baybee, check me out! Let's get in the-" <CRUNCH AS DOOR HITS LOWER JAW, CLATTER AS 40 OZ BEVERAGE HITS PAVEMENT>

I'd give that front air dam 72 hours before being ripped clean off by any number of road hazards.......like two gum wrappers stacked on top of each other.

Aight for all you people that just talk **** and dont like this bad *** ride. This car is a highly tuned piece of equipment. Just cause it has chrome rims and lambo doors does not mean it not nice. Its just cosmetic. They wanted a car that could show off what there company was capable of and i dont think it has real world applications. The engine is pushing over 800hp i dont think you could classify that as ricey at all.

It looks WAY cool for a show car. I just wouldn't want to drive it on the street. Check out the rear wheel gap. Looks like 1" of suspension travel has that tire hitting the fender liner. The front air dam is 2" off the ground. Awesome looking, but not practical at all. One winter Munich pothole would clang the crap out of that front rim.
The SL on the Kleeman website looks more restrained and street oriented. Wild engineering on those doors. Wow.

Show car or sreet, chrome rims or not, that is one sweet ride. I dont think any of that car represents rice at all. I would drive that anyday on the road.

There is a lot of really sweet engineering on that car, and some very well made modifications, like the doors. Unfortunately, it would be damn near impossible to drive on the street, and I don't see no roll cage or race buckets.

Survey says: RICE.
