:D :D :D
just took my roomate to work, had to take a right at the light so i figure lets see what she will do if i drop it turning right, well the back end came all the way around sideways in 2 lanes and then i kept it floored, it straightend out,and we were off. Then the expression on his face was priceless haha
felt like rear wheel drive until it ripped back straight :)
:eek:

well to anyone going to atempt that be ready for the tail to come out!

20mm in the back

ya sure it was fun this time but what about next time when u lose it n slide in to the curb or on comeing car. and i think he was refreing to the car when he said she he was refering to the car "she will do if i drop it turning right". i did almost the same thing in my friends car n it was totaled :rolleyes: but was fun while it was happening

It would take a large lack of skill to go into oppositle lanes doing the right turn thing onto a 2 lane road...

is it possible to have the car FLIP OVER going REALLY sharp and fast on a turn? like what he did ....

im scared to go ALL OUT on turns, i got almost all out :)

because im afraid it will FLIP OVER or something, even if i dont hit a bump
i think this because AWD and stuff, someone explain?

What's this FLIP OVER thing you keep talking about?

If you get too far sideways, and do something that would cause your tires to really catch and get traction... you COULD flip over, I guess.

If you try to go too sharp and fast... the car is just gonna understeer.

I dont know about this flipping stuff all that happens to me is a load of screeching and around the corner I go. Although that tall grass in my headlights last night made me a bit nervous. I dont do it too fast though maybe 40 mips or so.

you guys think that i was going 40ish or something?
i was at a standstill taking a right when the light turned green, dropped the clutch and all 4 spun. it slid me around the turn with the tail end out just like a rear wheel drive car...i wasnt going fast at all. the power went to the ground and that was it.

I do it whenever it rains. It is lots of fun.

I took my car to a road course, I never once even thought I might flip over, even through sharp off-camber turns. I spun out, but didn't flip, don't worry, it's a car, not an SUV- just don't try a 90 degree turn at over 100 without braking.

When I was a pizza delivery driver in Tigard OR, there's this one turn I could kick out the back very nicely. It started out in my Rx7, but my Subie had no problem doing it either. As long as it was raining anyway.

I learned to drive in Montana... in the winter, and we'd go weeks without seeing the road under all the ice. I guess this might have had some negative impact on my driving because I always want to be going slideways...

When I had my car out on the track to see how it did at the limit, it felt pretty good. It had a fair amount of understeer, even with the front tire pressures 8PSI above the back. If you lifted, the read would come around very controllably (dry pavement). In a 95 MPH hard left turn, it would do a nice even drift, but I never really let it loose at that speed 'cause of the concrete walls. ;)

I knew you meant that, thats why I said what I said... It would be IMPOSSIBLE to do it from a standstill and go into the other lanes unless everything was ice :p

In my last car, 93 olds achieva v6, I would spin the tires in the rain going around the corners cause it had no traction. Didnt hurt anyone and was hilariously fun to do! (roostertail hehe)

If your tyre pressures are WAY too low then there's a chance that the tyre will roll under the car and the rim will dig into the road. Then you'll flip or trash your wheels!!

Too many people preaching about safety and insurance. I tire of your rhetoric. :(
