try it in a controlled setting sometime. I was driving a 'skid car' on a figure 8 track. In a oversteer (rwd) configuration I was able to stay in my lane and go twice as fast in a controlled manner than in understeer condition (fwd). Your example is a good one, but I stand by my experience. Regards, KeithG Henrik B. wrote: > KeithG wrote: > > >>whatever is in front of you.
