I vaguely remember learning about excessive camber being good for doing sick drifts and stuff, fucked if you hit a speedbump though.
Camber for drifting is to provide more or less grip or control. Especially on the front tires that lose contact surface when they are turned 80 degrees. Drift cars usually don’t have much camber on the rear, the front is usually under 10 degrees with the top of the tire tilted inward.
Camber in the case of the OP has nothing to do with performance or practicality. It is done to be extreme, either in the case of camber for camber sake or to allow the car to ride as low as possible with the largest wheels/tires possible. The OP example is almost certainly camber for camber sake due to how extreme it is.
Honestly, that car looks like it finna collapse…
If there’s a style you shouldn’t respect, despite it being perfectly fine to drive, it’s one of those big-ass SUV trucks some people use…
That’s the type of car you use to run over people willingly, or accidentally, with its tall bumper height, and the type you should use MOSTLY in war…
it looks like the car wants to pee. Awful lack of taste
Stupid yes, but I’ll support it. I’ll support anything car related
Bold statement, is “hit and run” included in this anything?
Who gets hit?
How to make an otherwise great-looking car ugly.
even worse are modern american cars, they look like they have breathing issues and are so hideously oversized that people are literally backing over their kids on their own driveways
Frontovers, not backing over. The hoods are so tall that they straight up run over their own kids in their own driveways, killing them, driving forwards.
I disagree. This is stupid and fun.
Whay do you mean, that car is pretty co… WHY THE WHEELS?!
Well what else were they gonna modify, the engine? The body? The head and tail lights?
Someone stepped on the poor thing.
PTSD from smashed matchbox cars just kicked in.
So are all your LED shit computers. Stop being judgey.
when was the last time anyone saw those LED computers? LED computers in no way affect others, cars like this do.
Oh because these cars wrecking people left and right, correct? A menace!? And I bet you have data to back that up.
These cars aren’t hurting anyone. How does this cat affect you in any way?
I’m talking shit behind a parking lot speed bump. You are powerless to stop me.
My pc is a regular dark box and my girlfriends is a neon rave show. It’s kinda funny if you come over and see them, interesting juxtaposition.
I don’t actually have that big an issue with the LED, in just pointing out the judgey shit 😑
Heaven forbid people have opinions 🙄
I can’t drive a fuckin moron through houston in my led computer
I once saw these cartoon drawings of tuned cars in a shop somewhere.
I thought they looked neat, but that was back when I didn’t know people actually angled their wheels like that. I thought it was just stylised like that for effect.
Man it looks stupid in real life.
Car enthusiast here and hard disagree. I respect anyone willing to pursue aesthetic so hard even at the cost of practicality. I enjoy cars slammed so low that the rim is bending the fender out etc.
At a certain point the car is sacrificed in the pursuit of some aesthetic point and I find that very amusing, and quite like it, even if it is practically “dumb”. It’s far stupider to get weird as hell about some very niche slice of car enthusiasts who bother doing this to this extreme.
Sure. Everybody is allowed to like what they like. And I have zero issues with seeing these cars at a car show. But the moment these fuckwits try driving these cars on a public road they deserve ALL the hate they get. They are prone to mechanical failure and are often unable to navigate common road conditions safely. One day I was on a road trip and there must have been a car show somewhere along the highway because every few minutes along the highway I’d see a group of cars with this mod along the side of the road with one of their number in obvious distress, with a wheel falling off or some other thing.
So I’ve seen race cars with relatively extreme camber used on a specific type of track, but what is going on in that photo? Is it just rolling on the inside rim?
Yes that’s because they’re on a track. When going quickly around the corner, the outside tire will receive a high lateral load roll so that it will have a “normal” contact patch. The inside tires do almost nothing anyway.
But that’s also not nearly this extreme.
stanced
Is it just temporary, like deflating the gas shocks? Or does it have to be loaded on a trailer between events?
Trailer
if it’s fwd and/or an suv go ahead and have fun with that, I couldn’t think less of them anyway
