I think when he said typo he was referring to sayin it is a track car anyways... Meaning he probably left not out of there... I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider this a track car. I'm pretty sure the tires would unseal in turn 1

at speed = moving forward lol
but I think he's found another fuel starve fix... stance that causes such poor handling you can't create the G loads to cause fuel starve in the first place

So many haters on this damn thread. I may be a noob to this forum but not to the car scene. You all need to understand that there are two ways to go, form or function. Cam will obviously be displaying his car at competitive shows that only care about how well the car was built and looks, they could give a fuk or shiiittt on how it performs on a track (my build will be heading in the same direction for all of you to know). As you all see clearly, he will not be turning this into anything worthy of a track, it'll instead be breaking necks at every corner he stops at. Now, with that being said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but stop making things personal and attack him for how HE wanted to make his dream a reality.
Just some food for thought. Great build Cam! I'm jealous! |

But he said early on that the car is his DD. Since he's not only showing it at car shows, I have a big problem with that stance and those stretched tires. The fact of the matter is they aren't safe, and he's putting other people at risk by driving it on public roads. Calling someone a 'hater' for pointing this out is just ignorant. I think most of the 'haters' are not making personal attacks - they are just passionate about their hate for stance/stretch and other mods that have negative impact on performance He also said it was built for track ... dunno if serious tho

I understand criticism, But some of you take it to just bringing him down,
Someone tries something unique, Hes probably not going to post it here worried that your hate or 'criticism' might be way too much Hes built a whole god damn wide body kit. I am pretty sure he knows how safe/unsafe his car is. Dont have to keep ranting how he cant do this and that. I am pretty sure he has an idea. Dont like it, . Stop crucifying him for something you dont like. He likes it. I dont like the rims either, But thats my personal opinion. It works for him. His stance, His rims, His car, Appreciate his work and patience, Dont rant about how you cant seem to understand his build. Atleast his is something unique while we all do the typical. The biggest issue is, Because of your hate someone might just stop trying something unique Sign up for premium membership and watch titties.

This is a very extreme build and as such, very polarizing. But this is also the fuckin internet. I don't why anyone expected anything different from random people posting on the internet. Frankly, I think the personal attacks have been kept to a minimum, which might be different on some other forums I know. But I don't need to keep arguing about this I've said my piece.

So, i was wondering about a coulpe things.
Does the op's insurance co know about all these mods. Would they cover him in the event he sustains damage from a pothole road hazard etc. If in the event he is in an accident, lets hope not, would his insurance co support him or not since the other ins co/persons lawyer will point out that the cars suspensipn, tires, etc are so far outside the recommened operational limits that he basically is going to be at fault no matter what. Is this even legal to drive on the street or can pass inspection if there is one. Ive heard of "stanced" cars or whatever its called getting pulled over and impounded for being unsafe or ticketed. |
