Damn check the rear wheels! look at that camber( i think thats right, im no suspension guru) fookin things are tilted in, isnt that an ideal set up for drifting?

That camber is an ideal setup for handling not drifting. Drifting is just a stupid spectator sport.

Yeah, but that's a hella lot of negative camber, even for handling. He's gonna wear the crap out of the inside of those tires like that.

I really like the car overall, but the back looks like it was chopped off abruptly, with the way it slants like this. \

If it came straight down or was more rounded off, I'd be totally sold. However, there's no doubt I'd mind owning one and I'm sure they're damned fast!

SAV-ZX2, the S40's rear looks better in real life than in these pictures. First saw the stock S40 at the Detroit Auto Show in January and was very impressed with it. Last month I drove an S40 2.5L T AWD 6spd and it didn't disappoint me. While the current model is not the rocket I'd like, I'm waiting for them to bring out an "R" version . If I had money to burn (dream, dream, dream) I'd have Evolve do their magic on a stocker .

The tail end is a little shorter than ideal. I like my S60's tail end better it and the S80 have a better proportion in that respect. The S40 is a more compact design with almost the same legroom and approx. 200lbs less .
