Whats the deal with these cars steering? Its like when you go around a corner on a wet road and the wheel is turned to a certain point the car wants to slide. Its also very hard to feel the road with these things, the steering is pretty tight but its hard too and you cant feel when your tires are starting to break loose. When my g/f got her GT she almost crashed it getting off the highway when the roads were wet. She just turned the wheel alittle and the thing started sliding and the rear end broke loose also. You cant feel the road at all with this car, i even have 17's with low pro performance tires and you still cant feel crap. Anyone else find this out about yours? It does handle really well but the steering is alittle funky...what do you think?

She wasnt accelerating into the corner..her foot was off the gas and she was making a slight turn and the tires started sliding sideways. These cars just have wierd steering and the break loose point is real soon. Maybe because its such a light car also...I dont know but i feel much safer taking turns with wet roads in my FWD 3000GT with wore out tires. I would have to turn the wheel twice as much to get the same sliding effect with my 3000. And at least i can feel when they are right on the verge of breaking loose and i can lay off. Different car and different setup is all it is..but im not too fond of the steering on the celica to tell the truth.
