Clements" <mrclem@telocity.com>; Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 09:53:40 -0800; Most driving advice applies equally well no matter what you drive -- look ahead, stay mentally and visually ahead of the car, minimize steering input, etc. But some things must be different between F; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00019.html (8,033 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: james creasy <Black94PGT@pacbell.net>; Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2002 10:12:39 -0800; my feeling is that if you are getting to the extremes of handling like power oversteer or understeer you are outside the optimum slip angles for the tires and would go faster staying within the limit; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00020.html (8,990 bytes)

Perhaps that's what I'm really asking -- how are they different at the extremes of han; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00021.html (10,901 bytes)

Stimson-III" <john@harlie.idsfa.net>; Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 11:29:12 -0800; Rear wheel drive cars tend to understeer under power just like you'd expect from a front wheel drive car, up to the point where the rear wheels break loose. But if you break traction due to too much; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00022.html (9,332 bytes)

By applying the brakes while turning, you're using the momentum of the car to induce a bit of oversteer as you ent; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00023.html (11,034 bytes)

And it was recommended to me as a technique for use in a Miata with an oversized front swaybar, to avoid the understeer created by the bar.

In my experience, once you start pushing in a turn (RWD), you can't stop it without slowing down. You can get oversteer AS WELL with you; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00025.html (8,993 bytes)

Stimson-III" <john@harlie.idsfa.net>; Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 13:02:55 -0800; Therefore you've got to do it before the weight transfers and the understeer sets in. I believe that this is known as "not being smooth", but as we read in the "how to autocross with AWD" discussion,; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00026.html (9,255 bytes)

One difference with FWD cars is that the power is steerable -- it's not parallel to the centerline; /html/ba-autox/2002-04/msg00027.html (11,287 bytes)

What makes it interesting is the fact that it does not seem to be symmetric. Once the car starts pushing, you have to slow WAY down to get traction again.

14. Re: FWD vs. RWD -- differences? (score: 1): Author: Smokerbros@aol.com; Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2002 01:06:33 EST; This is it in a nutshell. Also, left foot braking can be used effectively in more situations.
