Oversteer/Understeer???

This is Oversteer, and the fix is to turn the car Less into the turn.

No no no! You've got it all wrong. Hook into the corner harder, then apply LOTS of oppy lock. :DROFL

Anyone want to start a discussion on slip angles in a Z?

Zvoiture: Go for it.....or has it already been covered in some old threads? :)

Yes, lets hear about slip angles.:)

Speaking of which don't believe anyone who says that Zeds understeer, oversteer or whatever. They can be set up to do just about anything you want, its all about body stiffness, weight distribution, wheel alignment settings, springs, shocks and sway bars.

...not to mention the drive-type!

The Z was sooo easy to 'get the back out' (oversteering), of course I only did it when it was safe :classic: but boy do I miss it...

The K with 30 year old suspension, 20 less horses, 300kg more and a slushbox doesn't quite do it the same.............

in stock form, the Z is set up to understeer through the corner, as most cars are. This is easily remedied with a thicker rear sway or stiffer springs.

to the guy running l28et and 4.3 gears: you may not like that gearing very much because you'll run out of gear before you reach full boost!
