i dont know anything?...

That camber will help em out when making the fast turns to do the drifts. since the wheel is "bent" it wont lose traction as he makes the turn

yeah but the only way that much camber would ever be used is if the tire was almost completely flat. Lol. That queer is just a wannabe dricer. Lol i made a new word. dricer.

...or not. Just because someone spent a lot of cash doing a lot of crap to a car, doesnt mean that they can race. Look at riceboys and their civics. I beat one of them last night in my company's ford f-250 turbo diesel. Not only that, it had a bed full of parts. The truck isnt that quick, riceboys cant race. The camber on that particular 180 is inexplicably excessive.

Lol cowboy.
No i know that camber is needed to keep traction on the front tires, but he'd damn near have to flip the car on its side to get use of that much camber

imagine if cars were designed in such a way that they were actually supposed to roll on to just two wheels under hard cornering, we'd need tires like bike (motorcycle) tires... I'm not sure why, but I see a lot of photos fwd cars under hard cornering with two wheels off the ground...
