oversteer "phenomena"

[Darchrow Enigma]

i ordered a whiteline RSB for my gen4 camry to help take curves when i drive in the mountains...

and i'm wondering.... what are the chances of me oversteering myself off a cliff? lol

Well besides slowing down (a great option) front wheel cars tend to under steer not over steer. If you need to drive too nuts near cliffs and it will be an outside cliff may I suggest heal and toe to drop the front and help give you more over steer. Inside curves just gas. But to be frank normal front wheel cars and frankly most cars go in slow and come out fast. (with a little more exception our front wheel cars do that brake gas to keep front planted.

It is why rear wheel drive is better for fast driving. You can power it around the corner.

Our FWDs tend to understeer in corners. Oversteering can be induced by E-braking/E--drifting which is really helpful in wet conditions. If you want to maximize the RSB, don't let the front wheels lose traction in understeering and use left foot braking technique as said above. FWD cars behave very differently under stress but when tuned properly can be fun to drive as well.

It's pretty easy to induce oversteer once your in the start of the corner and you have most of the weight on the front wheels, if you do then give it the gas. At that point your basically having the front play catch up with the rear wheels. It's kind of like drifting once you break the front wheels free as well, except if you havn't planned to do that and set yourself up properly for it then you will most likely overshoot your exit no matter how in control you are, and have a nice tumble down a cliff. With drifting you can control the arch of the turn with the accelerator, with a fwd, you can pray that you make it.

I guess if we don't hear back from you after your mountain trip, we'll know what happened

i'm scared. i think i'll drive like a lunatic on local streets in the middle of the night when no one is around first. LOL. you know, just to get a hang of the new chassis.

bought a solara stock bar for the camry. it effing doesn't fit.
