Please explain.

You basically have 2 tires doing all the work from one end of the car.
It is a lot easier to break them loose and be totally out of control.
My Prelude can get pretty squirrely when you are driving it hard.


I had a Mini-Cooper S many years ago, when I lived in KC. It only had a
1275cc engine, but...it begged to be driven hard, and I drove it hard. I
don't recall it being "squirrely." In fact, in the wet and in the snow,
it was even better than usual. For many years, the mini's were
successful in SCCA racing.

Scotty thinks he's right and the vast majority of automotive engineers
don't know what they're doing!
How long did he last as an 'oil change' technician for Mr. Goodwrench?


Please...those guys have had some training. Scotty would have to work
his way through a Job Corps 12-year pre-training course just to learn
the skills needed to show up on time and empty the trashcans.

I guess you have decided it is yours and Yukon's purpose in life is to
insult as many people as possible.

Well, he insults and name calls every single time he's found to be
talking bull**** and lies. He doesn't know **** about driving and
vehicles, he over ran his mouth and now it's all he has. He hasn't even
considered answering MY post about the negatives of front wheel drive
because he knows good and well he is wrong.

Since you have some back to rec.boats the signal to noise ratio has
changed. There is more noise and less signal. Why don't you stop
stirring the pot, and start enjoying rec.boats as a boating forum?

mmmm ................when in Rome......

Your in hell, normally called Halifax.

Rome huh, in your mind... You and Harry are the ONLY ones in this thread
to throw around insults and add NOTHING to the thread but it's what we
expect from you anyway.

It's because Harry is dead wrong on this one, and when wrong or lying
that's what he does.

3) "Torque Steer": One of the most annoying habits of many powerful
front-drive cars

Exactly and I don't even think 2 liters is that powerful; but if you
are trying to pull out making a fast left turn in my Prelude you might
not really be turning as fast as you thought and you are smoking a
tire. (basically only one wheel is actually doing any steering)

I loved my Prelude. I loved it even better when I put the V rated tires
on it. Then I could take off ramps at 70 miles an hour and it wouldn't
get all squishy.

Off ramps are not the problem because you are decelerating into the
turn. It is when you accelerate into a turn that it gets to be in the
edge of control. (your typical left turn across traffic situation)
If you hit that "VTec" bump in the middle of the turn, you better be
ready.
I am used to it now but there was a learning curve.

Like I said before, when you need to "correct" you are going sideways,
not forward... and remember the first law of racing, "smooth is fast"!!!
