Forget I even asked. For a topic that wasn't answered enough in a timely fashion... don't worry about it.
Nice community.
Usually they just man up and floor it.d_dan wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 1:10 am So we've a lot of beefy high powered front wheel drives here (or had over the years) this can lead to excess oversteer what have you done to combat this?
Additionally has anyone added toe in on the rear to create slight understeer to counteract the oversteer or what other solutions have you come up with
Is that a traction due to high power issue or saying that the car has no power?
I gave the super polesmoker mobile a hiding up the mountain after bonfire. I found the limits on one corner and it was basically like a four wheel drift. I would have expected mad understeer.bjk wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 8:20 pm I don't really have anything insightful to add here, but the question has been bugging me regardless. From what I can find, pretty much any oversteer in a FWD car is a result of the driver, so I'm not sure where the "more power = excess oversteer" equation is coming from, unless you're confusing either torque-steer or lift-off oversteer with power oversteer in a RWD.
Factory alignments specs already call for 3mm of toe in on the rear.
Yeah if I did that I'd end up as a mural on a canyon facegetonit wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 11:49 amI gave the super polesmoker mobile a hiding up the mountain after bonfire.
