"Turns like it was on rails." What a dolt.

Yes, I wish him to drop in a hole so I can bury him with my hate.

I agree with you up until you mention louvers. I wouldn't personally use them, but I don't see the harm in 80's-fying a Z.

I guess they have never had a proper set up. After putting on my sways I can tell you the sharp corners are 100% night and day.

Guess I better stance cause it'll make it even more crisp! Yay

To me it's a class thing:

There's Social class, and Economic class. Most learn to grow out of the economic class by education/job/luck/perseverance/hard work.

Few if any grow out of BOTH social and economic class. This is why you see people with money doing really stupid things to very nice cars, and they just don't "get it," and most cannot even comprehend it no matter how many different ways you attempt to explain it.

Good theory. I tend to believe that most people just have **** style taste.

I have family up in NY and apparently the negative camber thing is pretty huge up there. He recently sent me a couple of photos of some ridiculous examples that he has encountered at local meets. I'd post them but I have no idea how to do so. I looked at the rules regarding posting pics on here and just ended up with a headache. I have absolutely no clue why anyone would invest so much time and effort into essentially ruining a car and rendering it virtually useless. It might have been unique before it a fad, now it's gotten completely out of hand. Replacing the wheels with tank treads would be unique too, hardly attractive or practical though. Apparently some people just have entirely too much time and money on their hands.

If you are familiar with road quality in NY, it is especially stupid.

Oh absolutely, the roads in NYC are a disaster. It's a stupid idea anywhere though. If you want to do something that ridiculous at least do it to a beater.

Roads in the salt belt in general are terrible

I don't understand why someone would put so much effort (and money) into making a sports car so damn slow.
