Horrid Understeer

RE: Horrid Understeer
It also depends on your driving and what you are doing. Your tires can only do so much. You cant turn, and brake(harder)at the same time, the tires will break loose from brakes, then skid, from the forces. Same with mashing the gas and steering( oversteer). I learned a lot from doing autocrosses. The car really doesnt turn, but i was always flooring it, then braking and turning, and the car would slide, if i slowed down before the corner, and accelerated through it, it would oversteer( better in my opinion) -Jon

jon your right on with the whoele driving technique thing. i used to autocross also when i first started dirving. the people were great and i learned ALOT about how to drive a car hard. i would recommend it to everyone to do it for a season. youll be amazed at how fast some people are with a stock to mildly built car. its cheap and alot of fun especially at the larger courses.

Well, after my first time out i COMPLAINED that the car understeered, or i could floor it and make it oversteer, but lost a lot of time/tires) and i was looking for a way to correct the car, swaycars/lca's when i found its more of my driving style, i learned to drive the car, not upgrade the car so anyone can drive it, and my way was cheaper. -Jon

i mean i have been driving the **** out of my car for over two year and i know the limits like the back of my head and i could make it go aroudn the course without any sign of under or oversteer, but i dont want that, i know that if i modified the car to NOT understeer as bad as the factory designed it to that i could take the course a lot faster and a lot harder.
