Default COUNTER STEER

Is it me or do the s197 have crazy counter steering when ya *** gets kicked out, I felt like i dislocated my shoulder tonight when i was trying to correct my *** end. I had a fox body before and I dont recall ever having to counter steer so severe orgrab the wheel with 2 hands but tonight ****, had to get off the gas and almostthrew out my shoulder to keep from going onto the boulavard,lol

feels good to know my car scares me like that though. forget sometimes that i got to respect the power(no im not s/c got mainly all bolts ons you can do) you get comfortable and you feel indestructable.

Yeah you definitely have to respect the power... but its just too fun to test it every now and then. I was just driving home tonight and its wet out (1am so no one was on the road). I decided to hit it a little in first while making a left just to kick it out for a second and I almost did a 360 lol. A few people on here have learned the hard way.

speaking of 360 I hit a empty parking lot tonight too about 10 min after that and was doing some 2nd gear 360's, It was whipping so hard my buddie said he felt like he was about to fly out the window.

No whip here unless I really try, like cutting the gas half way thru a turn. I've had it out on a skid pad a number of times. Very much related to your driving style, tires and suspension set up.

Its probably a lot harder than it was in your fox because of how much more the S197 weighs
