Your'e the moron. I simply talking about powering out of understeer into a little bit of oversteer. Not accelerating into the goddamn turn or literally adding power to your car.

I will not be as "direct" as The Jmac, but he is correct

One cannot "throttle out" of understeer, I think your statement needs better clarification or something.

Heavy metal mat I think I know what your trying to say. Your saying that if your understeering and you slide the back end out a little bit your oversteering then right? Oh and the sentence "Your'e the moron" is the definition of irony. "Your'e" is not a word. I'm not picking a fight, just saying if your gonna call names at least do it right.

You cannot power out of understeer correctly or quickly. Swinging the back around is not the fastest way around a corner. It is actually slower. Does it look cool? Sure, but it isn't how you do it.

Also, if you are already understeering you are really going to have to throttle out in order to get the rear loose. You will have to put enough power out to cause less grip in your rear tires than your fronts in order to correct understeer. Just tune the suspension correctly so that the car is more neutral.

haha ya I know but I don't want false info on here either. If a car understeers you can't just give it 900 HP to correct it.
