What...

the...

ef...

Next step: Just run giant wheels and tires mounted to the body, totally perpendicular to the road. Have go-kart tires tucked underneath to actually drive on.

I'm terrified we'll actually see that happen, though it might drive better than that thing in the video...

BEST HANDLING EVAH!

I wonder what kind of tire wear he sees...

In reply to Twin_Cam:

As long as he photographs them lying face-up, they probably appear to have full tread depth. Inner sidewall condition, don't ask...

Just proves who's the stupidest!

I'd almost thought someone ought to do that to parody the trend.

I wonder how far you could get that to drive up a concrete Jersey barrier sideways.

That could really help my drifting in Forza...

It's like automotive foot binding. All that pain and effort for grotesque results.

Am I the only one who thought the thread would be about robotic toilets?

That car is bow legged, a nutritional deficiency must have caused it.

New tires every 100 miles? Im hoping that they camber it out that much just for shows and dont actually drive like that....

Not as cool as this, though:

(And I'd call it bosozoku, not VIP.)

This is new? They've been doing this for probably 5 or more years now.

How do they even make it do that?

This way:

better question is WHY?

All that effort for what?

Oh, I get it: excessive static camber means you can pick up chicks, right?

You guys havn't played with the suspension cut-out in the back of "Tune to Win" enough.

Now: As the body of a vehicle rolls with the g-forces acting on the vehicle in a turn, the outside tires are forced into a positive camber condition through the movement of the A-arms as that side's suspension travels into bump. By presetting large amounts of negative static camber....

ah, I got nothing

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.
