Default Too much camber?

Think this guy has dialed in too much camber in the rear?

Ouch!

Sure looks like that C-GT was used to plow a field (plenty of dirt and plants underneath)... who said Porsche doesn't make tractors anymore?

He's probably looking to put on wider tires, and needs to make sure they will still tuck up under the fender! He should consult Ted about good ways to fix up the looks of this car, though; the exhaust system is waaaay too small! Plus it does not look like the rotors have a good coat of wax -- those damn things are going to rust!

Actually this car is not wrecked but being delivered to it's new owner. Apparently MTV's show "Pimp my ride" got a hold of it and installed airbag suspension and what you see is merely the lowered setting. :P

Slammin'

Saw this one on Rennlist. He is up to $150,000.00 in parts alone for the repair. One of the other pix showed a broken off composite rotor.

If these people really don't like their Carrera GT's that much, I will be happy to get rid of their undesired car. I will even come and tow it away for free.

I thought he just ignored the wave off

Kind of like watching the multi-bizzilian $$ houses slide down the hill side in CA
