Your race cars are not 7 feet tall 2 ton SAV's on asphalt. This monster can really benefit from camber. Zero camber on this truck will push at any speed in turns. I live on a mountain and every turn is great thanks to the setup this truck has with negative camber. Not only does it push from rolling the sidewall when you have zero camber, it severely reduces surface contact. This truck is not a tiny car, you don't have to drive it's balls off to see benefits of negative camber. Inertia is what matters and mass makes all the difference. Anyone who says you do is not bothering to take its size and weight into account, which make it drive completely different from a 1500lb aluminum go kart.

As well, due to the truck going into POSITIVE camber over any bumps or inconsistencies that cause the truck to unload the suspension, even as it goes down the freeway at 70 mph, will cause wandering and instability.
