Sliding on wet roads? Options

[bufferdan]

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?

Kwanza you are wrong mate, you can get them out with a flick. I wouldn't exactly call it drift, more like a slide but you can do it.


Bufferdan I think you are crazy. The understeer in our cars is awesome, I know within a mm of how far i can push before i lose it. I am always getting a bit of front slide happening through the wet hill drives, you just need to know when to accelerate.

What you are talking about will NOT happen if you don't have your foot on the gas. And only when you are in a certain zone when your wheels are excessively turned and you are going a certain speed (accelerating at about 25 kph). You are talking about spinning your front wheel (inside) or wheels in the wet which then causes understeer... it's usually the inside one because bodyroll will lift it up... this happens because you have carried too much speed into the corner and are oversteering to get out of it.
