Stupid question but..

Ok... Say your going 40 down the road and decide as your right at a left turn, you want to take it. So your going 40 and take a very hard left into a different street. Are you going to continue straight into a pole while the tires are trying to turn or is the car gonna take a tight ass turn and not give you any trouble? Reg stock ss/sc 06.

In all honesty, it depends on how hard you crank the wheel. FF tends to understeer more than FR though, so don't expect your results to be any different. If you really want to take a fast corner, jab the brakes right before you turn to transfer as much weight on to the front tires as possible. (but don't hold the brakes as you turn)

It should hook up pretty well. I did a complete 90 degree right turn. It held it. No squeeling of the tires. Going about 35-40mpg. I didnt give it gas into the turn.

Woa, that is some good gas milage for a turn jk. I took a 90 degree turn at 45 km in 2nd gear about half throttle a few days ago and it felt like i coulda doubled it. Even tho I wouldnt suggest doubling it.

if you want to hit a turn real fast ( which i do on a daily basis for fun ) go to the furthest part of the turn ( the apex ) and work your way to the inside... when you are coming out of the turn you should be inside of it..... 40 for a 90* turn is a little too fast the front tires will break....
