This was RPM's first year hosting this event. Very successful for a first try.

Enjoy!

I don't see anything wrong with lowered cars on good wheels with good fitment.

Thanks guys. Sun was harsh as hell but PS saved a bunch of them.

Yes it was a very clean Camaro! LSX swapped and supercharged.

There were a couple other ones but this bagged one definitely looked on point.

The Camaro looks badass, I'm also a fan of the Evo X.

I don't know about the Camaro in the first picture. I love those cars, but is the one in the first picture overdone?

Nice pics man!

So, (noob question...) what is the purpose, if any, of the slanted wheels in #5 and #6?

Slanted wheels = camber.

It's a VIP thing.

For appearances only-- some people like that look, which I think is retarded-- when the negative camber (tires slanting outwards) is that extreme.
Race vehicles often use a bit of negative camber for stability purposes, but nowhere near the amount those pictures depict.

Personally, I love the VIP styling BUT I prefer my front wheel camber closer to 0 (or -2 which is what I'm running). I do love the rear cambered look though.

I love the stance on this box.
