I guess I could of worded what I said a bit better in that I am limiting my conversation to purely the physics involved so asking anyone responding to my post to do so as well so we can keep the attitudes, mine as well, at bay
I am not singling anybody out, it is absolutely in general that I bring this up and in general what is being done to address these issues.
I think the term Stance is used to a much broader degree than I knew before, to me it is the really out there approach with super skinny tires of super wide wheels, very low drop with very compromised geometry and far to much camber, that is what comes to mind. If the term in more general in nature and now includes other aspects I am comfortable with I want it known. I support most anything to do with lowering a car, just not things that are obviously causing safety issues.
And, I do absolutely agree about the real menaces out there, far to much power, far to little self control.....racing is for race tracks, not the street but this is about Stance and the issues of just going to far with it so back on topic, please
You have given some good answers and I appreciate that.
If a car has enough suspension travel to not bottom out, the geometry is corrected, enough sidewall support and depth, enough contact patch on the ground, it can be quite low and quite safe. The Camaro, if they have compensated for the geometry may be incredibly great handling car. I have avoided more than my fair share of knuckleheads over the years because my well modified, quick, great handing car was able to avoid them, in a lessor car, might not of worked out so well. I would of called the Camaro lowered, not Stance, as that is a term I have used and done for decades, I would not group it into what I consider Stanced in the least.
Though not a great deal of sidewall height it looks adequate, from what I can see the camber is good, enough tire width to be properly supported by the rim, it is not slammed on the ground, it looks more like the things I do, looks great
Of course it is a convertible with out a roll bar and an old car with little structural support for side impacts, etc...something else to consider in overall safety.
I would have much lighter wheels though like the 18x13 rear and 18x10.5 on the widebody Vette convertible I built, custom CCW monoblocks, TUV rated which is the highest rating you can get and fat sticky tires with just a little stretch front and rear for the best combination of support, grip, feedback and safety and very low weight for the size as weight effects ever aspect of performance, ride quality as well and I drove it like the grandpa I am nearly always as the performance was so high it was not safe to take it anywhere near it's potential on public roads, why I parted ways with it, ended up just taking up space and hardly drove it. When I did drive it the attention it received was huge but I did not buy or build it for that, I did it because I always wanted a Vette and finally could have one the way I thought I wanted it.
-----------------
To me anytime a vehicle, any type of vehicle, is purposely or unknowningly degraded in handling, brakes, or any other safety area is simply not a wise thing to do, we cannot control everything out there and the idiots texting while eating or putting on makeup or to many valiums, or......
