Losing the back-end in the WET
I was mucking around the other night on some wet road (always fun eh), just testing out the handling etc...what i found out was just how easy it is to have the back-end let-go.
With a sharp turn one way or another and the throttle neutral or off the car is in definate oversteer situation at about 60km/h. At about 30km/h with a sharp turn I lost the back end completely & had to correct back the other way.
All this is making me wonder how stable the car would be under braking from high speed, and also switching direction in the wet. With such a light-end I imagine things could sometimes get a bit hairy.
Anyone else have these same experiances.
I have stock suspension set-up and tyres about 50%-- fronts a little more worn than the rears. I know this is how the manufacturer sets the car to handle... but I really was surprised at just how easily it would oversteer in the wet.
