Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2007Electronic Stability Control Law passed in US!!
ALL NEW CARS MUST HAVE IT! Is this the end of oversteer, powersliding or as the kids call it, DRIFT will we have a switch, where we can turn it off? I love my rear wheel drive car, where the back wheel lose a little traction, but the front wheels can still steer. > ALL NEW CARS MUST HAVE IT! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I love my rear wheel drive car, where the back wheel lose a little > traction, but the front wheels can still steer.

Yet google is not turning up any such law being passed when I looked earlier. In further searching I've found a reference in a UK paper about NHSTA wanting to make it manditory in 2012. Another victory in building a better idiot and tests designed around CR's attempts to ruin a vehicle they don't like. >>>> ALL NEW CARS MUST HAVE IT! >>>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Another victory in building a better idiot and tests designed around CR's > attempts to ruin a vehicle they don't like. I believe it was a NHTSA "rule". > ALL NEW CARS MUST HAVE IT! > > Is this the end of oversteer, powersliding > > or as the kids call it, DRIFT With RWD cars ? LMAO !

LMAO ! well, powersliding with front wheel drive seems kind of stupid. The wheels that lose traction are the same ones that steer. When I do it with my rear wheel drive, I am in almost complete control. > On May 25, 8:49 pm, Eeyore <rabbitsfriendsandrelati...@hotmail.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > When I do it with my rear wheel drive, I am in almost complete > control. AFAIK,drifters use RWD or AWD cars.  SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net On May 25, 8:49 pm, Eeyore <rabbitsfriendsandrelati...@hotmail.com> wrote: > With RWD cars ?

ESPECIALLY NOT DRIVE ANYTHING WITH MORE THAN 35 HORSEPOWER THAT WILL DELIVER ALL OF THAT AWESOME POWER TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FRONT TIRES. bob z. ps bob z. doesn't understand the whole 'drifting' phenomenom, but doesn't understand the love-affair with FWD, either. > Drift can be done with FWD cars when you have a really strong parking > brake that applies only to the rear wheels. Those aren't really drifts, they're just crappy slides. Drifts normally feature the rear wheels having less traction because they are turning too fast. Sometimes the handbrake is used to initiate the loss of traction, if your engine is too crap to cut the wheels loose, but then the gas is always applied straight after. > Those aren't really drifts, they're just crappy slides. I totally agree with you!!! bob z. > > Drift can be done with FWD cars when you have a really strong parking > > brake that applies only to the rear wheels. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > if your engine is too crap to cut the wheels loose, > but then the gas is always applied straight after. And to be a 'true' drift, all 4 wheels have to be sliding. I love to watch the ice racers who will sometimes be going backward around corners but in total control.

It also has a medium setting called "competitive driving mode."

Dunno why as the car is a 'geezer' car and I don't think you could make it exciting to drive short of driving off a cliff. Harry K |
