I was driving at an average speed yesterday and I had a left turn coming up that leads into 3 lanes. I figured this was an opportunity to goose it a bit on the turn. I made the turn at a very low speed and then right when I was about to straighten out I slammed on the gas and my backend swurved to the right and then to the left until I gained control. I almost **** my pants. What happened? This was never a problem with my Nissan or Infiniti!!

Can this be fixed???

 

Sure it can be fixed!
Move the rear differential to the front of the car.
Turn the engine sideways.
Cut the driveshaft in half and use one half to drive each wheel.

Voila!!

Instant front wheel drive car...

 

Hahaha! He's right.

You just experienced the fun of RWD! I love it, man!

In fact, I might go drift some corners right nao.

 

You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. How is the problem fixed? With your right foot.

 

+1, you prob should have a bit more experiance on rear drive high power vehicles before you try to screw around, what you used is what we in the autocrossing world refer to as the rear 2 steering wheels, great for slaloms and nose turns.

 

Tighten up the loose nut behind the wheel. The only other way to fix this "problem" is go buy your self another FWD car.

That's good LMAO!! Sounds like you need a big empty parking lot to get use to the RWD. What ever you do don't punch it on wet pavement that can get nasty if your not use to RWD. One good advantage is my wife will not drive the Stang because she is scared to death it will turn on her.

 

It's people like this that will cause the demise of RWD cars, if he had wrecked it he would have blamed Ford because the car has some uncontrollable tendency for the rearend to come out. Buy and drive cars within your limits.

 

I tend to agree, here. He, himself, probably wouldn't have done it, but this is exactly the situation that results in things like our beloved Torque Nanny and Electronic Throttle Control.
