Shelby demonstrated this nicely with their latest shot of their new Shelby 1000.

See if you can pick out all of the flaws without peaking at the above link.

Look at the bottom of the RF tire.

The sidewalls on the rear tires are not even slightly buckled.

Look at the angle of the front tires. They are in the loaded position. They should be canted inward at the bottom.

The lower grill just plain looks like crap.

The shadows under the front tires are all wrong.All of the shadows should be stronger on the right side of the car.

Ray Charles could have done a better job at this photoshop!

The sidewalls wouldn't buckle on street tires. In fact, you wouldn't be able to do a wheel stand on street tires anyway because they're not sticky enough. They would just spin. That leads to another flaw... unless the photographer was using a super fast shutter speed, you'd see motion in the rear tires.

There is no squat in the rear.
The light between tread on the rear tire wouldn't be there. Expansion/Contact Patch
Front tires would be angled in
Driver Side window is down
Front tires are still tucked and suspension has not be extended/unloaded
Cars don't launch equally like that. There needs to be flex in a car without a cage


I could go on
