At least 2 wheel stunt driving would be easy.

Meh, ain't my thing, but not much more reduculous than building an '84 Celica that goes around cones in parking lots fast. But, I mean, I could get a trophy! Oh, he got one too. Shoot, his is nicer.
I had the same conversation with someone today; he was talking about his neighbor's late '60s vette. It is apparently immaculate, but never driven. I said I would enjoy a car by driving it, but that each person can enjoy the automotive hobby in their own way

I had a car like that once. Of course, mine was just a Matchbox car that got stepped on my my dad but the wheels looked exactly like that.

It's just building something to compete in a certain class. Many of us do it, his just happens to be slower.
How is this any worse than slammed trucks?
I think it's pretty amazing that they have figured out how to run 50* of negative camber while still being able to drive straight. That's skill.
I bet it would be pretty fun to build.

Note to self:
Open a wheel bearing/tire shop in Japan...
Nice welds

Hmmm...
The quality of the welds was truly amazing. Looks like something I welded...when I was 12.

Haha was just gonna post this. You could probably split lanes in a traffic jam without too much trouble.

Doesn't make it any better. Durty south is just as bad as the bozos.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you can turn like that.. Shouldn't the understeer be horrific?

How about getting power to the wheels that are driven? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that as well. My guess is it is FWD, but even then it must be hell on the CV joints,and axles.

DID YOU GUYZ SEE HOW LOW THAT RACE CAR WAS!!!!
Always boggled my mind how the tuning world takes aggressive visual cues from race cars (that most often look bad and are done out of necessity), and use them to make cars slower.
