The specific phrase refers to a modified iteration of a General Motors roadster, distinguished by an enhanced, broader chassis. This adaptation usually involves widening the vehicle’s fenders and sometimes other body panels to accommodate larger wheels and tires, which in turn alter the vehicle’s stance and aesthetic. A notable example would be an aftermarket customization package designed to improve the car’s visual presence and potentially its handling characteristics.
Modifying a vehicle in this manner can offer several perceived advantages. Owners often pursue such changes to achieve a more aggressive and personalized appearance. Functionally, wider tires can provide increased grip and stability, potentially improving cornering performance on the road or track. Historically, customizing automobiles has been a common practice, reflecting individual preferences and the pursuit of enhanced performance or visual appeal.
