We're just saying that we're going to point and laugh at them for paying so much money on something anti-functional. Blah blah blah, its your car you can do what you want. That doesnt make bosozoku retardation any less disappointing.

Who cares, its not like you're important. As for anti-functional, do you have any experience with the subject?

it also doesn't make rattle canning your wheels any less retarded.

Yes, $4 for some leftover paint, and well over $4k for tires that dont fit your expensive and overly wide wheels, plus suspension mods to have so much camber that you have less tire contact than my 195s. Same level of absurdity.

$4k for tires? I'm not sure what tires you're using but I've never seen them that expensive. These cars also have a different purpose than your rainbow generator.

I have more than that in my suspension I run a fair amount of - camber, my tires dont exactly fit my wheels, they dont fit inside my fenders, car is way to low and I'm sure I could keep up with you on a RR track pretty easily. Our cars even have similar power to weight ratios, though I'm betting you have a slight advantage in that department since your car weighs 600-700lbs less than mine and I only have about 30hp over you.

Certain amounts of negative camber can be very usefull. It all depends on set up. ALMS GT2 cars run upwards of -5*

Street cars dont need more than -2.5* IMO.

Either way, its already been stated that the car in the posted topic is way to exccesive. Everyone agrees to that. Its retarded. Move on, and stop bringing other cars into it which have little to nothing to do with the one discussed in the original topic.

$4k for tires, wheels, suspension mods, etc., and that was aiming low. I'm aware they have a different purpose...not sure what it is, but I know my rainbow generator doesnt look good..I'm not trying to make it look good.

I dont remember how much stretch you have, but IIRC its not retarded. In either case, my tires blow and render my minor suspension mods useless, plus I need more experience.

Not any of the cars posted in either thread

If that...-2 is more reasonable IMO

DAMN! I just figured out why this is still cool... the Honda guys aren't all doing it yet. Give it some time.
