Similar view of another car from last year, also got good lighting for Carousel Red. The slight uphill slant of the driveway adds to the already perky pose these cars had.

I'm honestly not a Judge guy but the stripe does highlight the natural pouncing cat line of the upper body. These two pics highlight why I'm so harda** about factory ride height is that the top of the door where it meets the glass is designed to taper down towards the rear giving the car that coke bottle or above-mentioned cat stance. The minute you raise the rear even an inch you make the top of the door look horizontal and you lose the intended shape and look

I'm also no fan of spoilers but got to say that the 69 wing was done artfully. Whomever was the guy who decided to lower and taper down the final wing design (as opposed to the taller and horizontal shape of the original (similar to the look of the 69 TA wing) deserves a beer and a medal!
