edgy Posted 22August, 2013 Report Share Posted 22August, 2013 I am glad I don't need chest hairs to drive the 911 No you don't.... but the first time you oversteer one you'll get some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 22August, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 22August, 2013 Lol, I've had a Lotus Elise for 14 years .... so yeah oversteer is something I know about Mid engine + fat tyres + power - weight = very oversteery in the wet I expect the 911 to be way tamer in everyday road conditions and not to try and kill me every time it rains.

Airhead Posted 23August, 2013 Report Share Posted 23August, 2013 Understeer - That's when you hit the wall with the front. Oversteer - That's when you hit the wall with the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 23August, 2013 Report Share Posted 23August, 2013 Understeer - That's when you hit the wall with the front. Oversteer - That's when you hit the wall with the rear. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you move the wall. Endhijackofthread/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 23August, 2013 Report Share Posted 23August, 2013 Understeer - That's when you hit the wall with the front. Oversteer - That's when you hit the wall with the rear.

Orion03 Posted 26August, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2013 What about massive understeer followed by snap oversteer...... For me it's the oversteer one way followed by massive snap oversteer the other way due to my lack of skills.... They are all "ran out of skill" moments for me.... hence I am looking for a car with modern PSM..... save me from my lack of skill oh mighty computers.
