Default Is this photoshopped?

No way this car is pulling the front wheels with those tires? This picture was on motortrend.com!

I don't think so... I think thats the Shelby 1000, so I can see the front wheels lifting off honestly with someone who can drive it... Plus you would have to spend days to get a photoshopped picture looking that good.....

Shopped. More than that, admitted to being as such. With all the modern filtering plugins/addons and refinement many image programs have undergone in recent years, I doubt it would take more than a day or two for anyone that does this for a line of work or as a serious hobby.

It's not that hard and not that good of a job. The wheels aren't sagging down and there is clearly some blur on the bottom of the tires.

I knew it was shopped, just hard to believe they would put it on their website. No way you can pull the front wheels without a slick or drag radial.

Photoshopped. Look at the passanger wheel how it fades and don't say it is from the heat. Plus rear wheel are to clean for them to not be moving.
