Yeah that's pretty much the conclusion that I've come to. I just thought you would still want a degree or so of negative camber while drifting, which they don't appear to have.
Makes me wonder if people actually determined the normal amount of suspension compression during a typical drift and then loaded the car and aligned it and stuff, or if it was some half assed alignment job and now it looks like it's got a bunch of positive camber, and all they know is that it works better than when they had -2 degree of static camber. I'd hope not.
It does make sense though, so I guess my question at this point is why 0 degrees of camber in a drift is best, where I would imagine at least a decent bit a negative camber would be beneficial.
I think we may be getting off topic though.
