i guess Arkansas is good about 1 thing: lots of copless and twisty back roads... well i went for a spin this afternoon, and 1 turn particularly got my attention... i took a "30 mph" u-turn at about 60 mph, and near the center of the U, the tires (S-03's) started to squeal. At that point, i tap the brakes and the car jerks a hard left, but i snap it back straight... it felt like i was loosing the turn, any suggestions? is this the effects of "throttle lift?" suspension and brakes are stock... thanks...

 

Don't brake in turns.

Don't lift in turns.

Try driving a rear engine Porsche if you need practice, you'll learn VERY quickly.

 

don't brake in turns, brake before turns

 

Hell, don't brake at all.

I find my car is a lot faster when I'm not braking.

 

Until you hit a tree. And like everyone said, braking in turns is bad, it's similar to throttle lift.

 

oh okay ill go pick up a porsche tomorrow...

 

break before turn, accelerate through apex. you did 60 around a complete U turn? daym, thas pushing it.

 

no.. i went in around 60... i ended like at 40~45 out of it... i couldnt hit the proper apex cuz it would be in the other lane...

 

wrong way to approach it...slow in, fast out. slow in, fast out.

 

yea... thas what i need to work on... i guess i misjuged the corner... thanks for all ur help guys...

 

That was useless.

Driving an old rear engine Porsche isn't that rare of an opportunity.

 

On a public road, slow it down.

 

Ddub... it was on a back road (farmroad)...

DAVERORi just added air... 38F, 37R... when hot...

 

Ya dont' tlift in turns, just power thru them.

If your unsure of the speed for the next turn then enter slow and accelerate thru it will not be the fastest but will be safe. then if your a sycho like half of us then what you will have to do is brake hard into the turn before the the apex and then steadily give gas out of the turn.

The best way to know what your car wants do to and the best place to learn is on the track, try going to a HPDE maybe the one in my sig...

All street tires make noise, it's always a squealing.

Race tires make a noise also, but it's more the sound of friction between the road and contact patch.

 

Reid you've made my sig for a week
