Closet tuners and underground racers - I'm ultra curious.
I see these super-fast looking foreign jobs zipping around town sounding like angry bugs. Big fart-can mufflers, mod-maker stickers all over the quarter panels like a NASCAR sponsorship, fancy paint, ultra-$$$ rims and tires... plus sound systems that can be heard 3 counties away.
Only a small handful are ever "done". And I'm reasonably certain that they aren't worth much if they are. The market of people who buy more expensive cars don't want them and the people who do want them often can't afford them. But dollars are being thrown at this hobby at an astounding rate. What's the draw? I understand that within the circle of people who like those sorts of things, there are competitions, and respect and races. But the circle is so small. Why throw that kind of money around when it's never coming back? I don't get it?
No Snaab made an excellent point. I'm actually looking for a high quality '89SPG and will pay good money for an excellent car. But I wouldn't even consider something that was destined to be the dream underground racer.
With college (and insurance) as expensive as it is, where do these kids get the money to build these cars?
