not particularly, but I also wouldn't call the people who do like it stupid.

I will guarantee that that 240 the OP posted and most of the low cars I've seen will make an emergency lane change better than the lifted jeeps and pickups owned by the members of this board. And don't tell me people don't run slicks and skinnies on the street, I've seen it. My friend's Miata is very nimble, and he has plenty of suspension travel. His car does not crash on bumps, but he does scrape on the road. He has frame gliders so it really isn't that bad.

Again, I wouldn't do it to my own car, but I also wouldn't call it unsafe. Maybe they are causing premature bearing or suspension wear, but that is not really of their concern. Yeah, that ridiculous VW posted on page 1 is stupid because it cannot be driven. I saw it posted that he bent a shock. These cars with 4 degrees of camber at most and scraping the fender wells, are not as dangerous as you guys are making it out to be. Calling it stupid is childish. You guys can't deem a car unsafe until you have facts showing it will not perform the necessary tasks of daily driving. I can promise you that many people think f-bodies are stupid, why does their opinion not count, yet everyone's here is fact?
