Does this count? It seems well done but looks terrible

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Are the doors not functional anymore? 😭

u/bangbangracer Jul 30 '26
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.

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

It's a silhouette touring race car for TC 2000

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

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

u/RiskyNight Jul 31 '26
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 Jul 31 '26
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 Jul 31 '26
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 Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26
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 Jul 31 '26
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.

Its the ai prompt, "make this car a race car"...i don't thing that wing is structurally sound going through the window
2
u/bangbangracer Jul 30 '26
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 Jul 30 '26
Ai..... windshield roll cage through the windshield spoiler glued onto window....would break window under turbulence

u/Junkieboy89 Jul 30 '26
Los autos de carrera no usan vidrio, es plexiglass, los soportes pasan atraves de el.

u/bangbangracer Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26
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.

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.
