What is the new thing with these ricers that I am seeing? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I believed it started in Japan's drifting. More camber and harder tires can easily drift. But I do agree, some people take the camber to the extreme..

That looks incredibly stupid, and its gonna give them some major tire/wheel problems, and probly some suspension problems too. But if they think that looks cool, then i say go ahead, let them look like a tool. Gives me something to laugh at.

Nothing major actually. They stuck him down at the very end of the row. He got a few dirty looks and most people just ignored his car. Nobody actually confronted him or made him move.

I think more people were just embarrassed for him at that point? lol

Lol the G35, THE ricer choice of the year...... I have never profiled drivers to cars until the top three biggest douche bag I have ever met in my life happen to drive this exact same car......

I can't decide if hellaflush is worse or donk is worse, but hellaflush ppl are more likely to be stomach turning tool bags

haha theres actually this same car that lives by me with a huge spoiler and ridiculous rims like the one in the picture

To my eye, it looks more like the axles are broken.

I'm all for people doing what they like to their car. Usually. There are plenty of things I don't like, but at least I can understand why people think its cool. Doesn't matter if its a rat rod, a low rider, gutted racers, resto-modded muscle cars, jacked up 4x4's, movie car re-creations, rolling A/V entertainment centres, gussied up 5th gens, the list goes on. Some I like, some I don't. But when I don't like it can still see why some people might, and I can respect well done examples. But 'stancing'? Even if you were to show me the car that won first at the 2012 International Stancing Show, and explained what made it great, I'm pretty sure I'd just facepalm & walk away.

No way could you drift a car with that much camber. You would be breaking axles left and right. Hellaflush is for high school kids with terrible taste. I'll take hellafunctional instead.

hellafrush

hellfunctional

I can't wait until they change the trend to tireless rims so I can see huge sparks.

Maybe it helps prevent rim rash when parallel parking?
