No I think Canadian's just tend to be a bit more open minded and polite. 
Eh?

spec are 17x9+12
all around with stock ap2 tires size
and i dont think a corolla will pass me in a mid corner,but thats your opinion and its all good!
my opinion about that is,have you ever been in a car with the same size rims/tires,same ride height, same alligment spec to make a statement like that ??
like i said even tho the car handle good to me im not going to track the car with those wheels and alligment set up, its still really wet and cold out here so instead of tracking my car and going on the twisties im having fun and learning how to go sideways and how to control the car... is there anything wrong about that

Also, I don't need to drive an s2000 with -6.75 rear camber to know it's going to handle like crap. There's a reason all the time attack cars and serious track guys don't run that much camber: excessive camber means less tire is contacting the pavement. So you're taking 9" wheels and making them about as effective as 4" wheels because that's how much tire is actually being used. That's why your rear end breaks loose so easily in the donut video.
It just confuses me why people take a purpose-built sports car and ruin the handling dynamics in the name of style. If you want to run retarded fitments, go get a Scion XB or something.
If you want to run this setup for style, then do it. Just don't go around saying it's going to be fast around a track, because it just isn't. You may very well be a decent driver, but with this setup the car will most likely handle worse than stock, end of story.

It's fine if you think this looks cool. That's subjective - it's a matter of opinion. However, when you go around claiming it's going to be fast around a track, that's not opinion anymore.
