Is it because its a safety issue or is it just not peoples tastes as far as appearance goes? Im trying to understand why so many people are against it.

Typically, the style comes with m4d driftor skillz, so when it happens, they should be covered.

it doesn't make sense. things that don't make sense are pretty much anything that isn't used in any form of motorsport.

No performance enhancements... Lack of tread use, waste of money, and a stock Suzuki Aveo could out run one in about 30 seconds just cause the handle when driving on the very corners of four tires!



I saw a Honda Civic Turbo this weekend on Steelies, that was a Retard Camber, he was attempting to drag, and it probably could have been a 13 second car, but instead he was running 16 second spinning the entire strip, then when i walk by I heard him talking to his girlfriend about getting new tires cause those have no traction, So i Casually walked over and had to suggest that he put the other 5 inchs of tire on the ground and try it again, he walked away his Girlfriend laughed!
