....Ohh man, I feel bad for the cobra. I don't anyone that would do that to the car they love, both the woman and the guy, are stupid.


Speaking of this, there is a great video on streetfire.net, it's a girl trying to "teach" her classmates how to drive a fast car or something. So she uses her boyfriends....03-04 Cobra or Corvette..can't remember, but she goes through all the Nos and traction control, then does a mini burnout after 3 tries, so she thinks she can handle it, so she says, "Now this is a full throttle run." I won't ruin the rest for you, i'll try to find the video n post it .

LOL, I know how you feel. I think I cried when I watched it the first time. Some girls, are just wow...they feel the car is losing control (I hope), but instead of braking or swerving out of a wall/car, they give it more gas and swerve to the object....

hehe, and in some instances, giving it more gas can help...but the swerving into an object part I can't understand. Good thing my girl doesn't have that problem...

^^^ That's a sick *** car! Are those the stock BBS STi wheels? Looks realllllly good man!


Also, for giving it more gas when you lose control, in AWD that helps, but in RWD, that makes it worse imo.

yep, but it depends. you don't want to let off on an RWD car completely in an oversteer situation because engine braking will cause "braking" at the rear tires which will rob them of traction that you are trying to regain and also it will transfer weight off the rear of the car to the front causing it to lose even more traction...

with an awd car throttle can help but if you lose it and keep the throttle pinned you can hit things at higher speeds.

i.e. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/D...7B82294422.htm

Yeh, it's taken her a long *** time to build up that car...but the way it sits now...that's probably my favorite car out of all of them...

Truuuueeee that! But there are still some instances where pounding the gas in a RWD car can help. (= Specially with anger/frustration...

I agree. That's what I used to do with my SC MR2 on the tracks.
