Nothing wrong with blowers, you just don't use one on a family of motors famous for being turbo monsters.

yeah i love em.. they are badass cars, i got the talon for 6k with under a 100k on it ready to go.. it ran perfectly, shifted really smooth and is super quick. i think i got a good deal, no scratches and the interior is awesome

Just went and saw Ron Howard's rush today..
Was pretty awesome IMO, especially being an f1 fan like I am.. pretty good story line on the feud between Nikki lauda and james hunt.. was never much of a fan of lauda, guess I was a bit young when he was in his hey day, hut got a better appreciation for him now..
Lots of killer in car footage as well as race footage and lots of killer Ferrari v12 revving.. all in all a winner, and worth a trip to a theatre if only for the sound clips alone.. :)

Looks like a fun car to drive. How`s it handle in the snow ? and, What`s up with the negative camber ? Is it supposed to be like that ?

negative camber like that is usually for better cornering, as when you get into a corner, it will tend to stand the tire up more on the center, and you'll get a bigger contact patch, but saying that, the camber on that thing is a bit excessive imvho..

Ok, that makes a little sense, but if the other side is like that, what do you think it`s gonna do to them ?

I'd guess it handles like most race cars in the snow...

Sounds like you need a lesson in roll center and suspension geometry. Too much for me to type on my phone at the moment but the internet is an ocean of information.

Yes its supposed to be like that. That camber is pretty tame and most likely track tuned.
