Exclamation Electric steering.. YIKES !!

Well today I had my first experience with the scarriness of the electric steering !!!.

I decided to make a turn at the last minute while doing 25-30 mph and wow I could not feel when the traction let go til my car slid on the front tires. lol I hope I can get used to this feeling. it is like on my RC cars.. the steering servo just steeres no matter what lol.


I guess it is normal for this type of system, I just wish there was a way to get some more rpad feedback from it.

anyway my AEM Blue intake arrived today WOOHOO. so I may install it this weekend.

I was the same way, I had 9 F-Bodies and was very used to a solid steering feel.

It takes a little getting used to kinda like Fords pile of **** Hydro boost brakes.

Our system provides more feedback than almost any other electrical system out there...be thankful for that, at least.

I actually find it pretty easy to tell when it's about to let go. Maybe it just takes getting used to.

ok I took it out at lunch today to a spot and praticed with it, getting used to the feeling when it is gonna let go. you guys are right, it just takes some getting used to. wow sure was scary the first time.

My wife called me to say a package came today woohoo first mod to install. AEM CAI.

( lol I am getting used to all the acronyms ).
After buying the Ninja ZX-10R I needed an auto that had some similar feel. this is a aweseom car so far.

Wow, that is a ridiculously large SIG. There is a reason that there is a gallery section to this site. One of those pictures is wayyy too big, less three of them. There is a guid on sigs somewhere on this site.

Kinda off topic, But Vibes are pretty sick. I wasnt very fond of the car when it came out, but one of my friends has a supercharged one. Pretty cool, did you have any mods done to your vibe?
