An additional reason is to counter the effect of the car's roll in corners. If the camber relative to the car is -2 deg, but the car rolls by 1.5 deg, then the resultant camber with respect to the pavement would be only -0.5 deg.

That's just a different more technical way to word the same thing that I wrote...

I read your posting to mean the camber change relative to the CAR through the range of suspension travel, which is one of the two components that contribute to the net camber relative to the ground.

Exactly what I saw. Looks like the wheel is bent, hub is machined out of wack, or something similar. Something is definitely NOT right about that rear wheel!

375 sounds just right for a 412#. What gear was the car in?
Actually the engine made 416/394 during the SAE J1349 Test. Ford just took advantage of the 1% Rule to derate it to 412/390.

I think its movement of the suspension instead of a wheel issue. The whole car was wobbling not just the wheel.

It's probably an artifact of camera/car relative vibration. Cameras with progressive scan CCD's tend to skew images of objects that are moving laterally. I have some lovely footage I shot from a train where everything is tilted be 30 degrees.

Super nice ride you've got there Shaun, ride height is just perfect with those wheels and 275's all around. I'll probably be going with same suspension springs and camber kit. Have to think what to do with stock 19" wheels and tires.

The camera was horizontal the whole time. Honest. Funny thing about the sound though, for some reason I kept saying 'Brrrrisssskiiiies"

Are they selling at that asking price ? If so, that ain't too bad, makes a decent down payment on a new set. Now what brand to buy. Car will be Sterling and i don't want chrome, i kinda like the color on the Brembo wheels. But tires aren't wide enough to my taste. Shaun has 19" RTR's with 275'a all around. What is the widht of those wheels he's running ?

I believe I may have seen the star of this thread on Rotunda Drive around 430 this afternoon. Yes?

I will be in the metro area all weekend and was wondering if I might see Stinger too.

Not necessarily. Some drivers like their cars to be a bit tight. Others like their cars to be a bit loose.
