FF Dangerous?

Oversteer can be corrected if you know what you're doing.

Understeer means the car takes a much more predictable path (straight ahead) but is much harder to correct.

>>15389312
sorry i meant to say oversteer or more specifically lift oversteer in a FF

>>15389302
You can find just as many crashes in RWD cars so I dont see your point

>>15389337
I'm talking about how much more difficult it is to regain control and grip in a lift oversteer in a FF vs FR. Having the ability to control the power at the rear wheels makes this much easier if you know what you are doing. Oversteer in a FF is not as simple as feathering the throttle and countersteering because of the lack of grip at the front wheels once you start sliding.

>>15389348

>>15389302
Depends on the car, the driving you're doing, the conditions, etc.

For inexperienced, underwhelming drivers FF is safer in mundane driving and in inclement weather as a rule.

If you know what you're doing, in my experience rear wheel drive and oversteer is easier to correct and work with than under steer.

For performance applications it's hard to argue that utilizing the front wheels for steering and the rears or all four for power delivery is better than tasking the fronts with both steering and power delivery.

Lift-off oversteer is pretty much the same as any other oversteer, preferable if you're awake and alert and potentially dangerous if you aren't.

Though for what it's worth using the Nordschliefe as an example for either is blowing things out of proportion. You're talking about pushing any car hard on what is considered to be one of the most demanding tracks in the world. Even good drivers can smack a car up pushing it on that road.

>>15389337
its a lot easier to just force a spin in a FR once you lose it to scrub speed and spin in the direction that isnt a wall

yeah for sure, also having a lighter rear end in a FF certainly doesn't help with the snap oversteer

RWD cucks shit on FWD because they can't control one. They just bury the gas pedal and hope for the best. Just like a survival game, if you have a shit ton of ammo (oversteer), you are just going to be a cuck and waste it because meh my shitty skills can get covered here.

If you have almost no ammo (understeer) you think more and use the little ammo wisely.

Too much of a challenge for them. Because DURRRR FWD SUGS DURRR

What's with the last video having FF oversteer? What?

>>15389491

FF's will do that because the rear wheels don't have any power going to them, thus no control in the rear aside from using the e-brake.

Even if he pulled the e-brake it'd still roll over thanks to physics

no, you mean it's a lot easier to avoid crashing in an FR car if you're going slower than the limit. you can't scrub off speed by sliding if you were going fast enough to fly off the track without maximum grip.

>>15390132
Don't forget to turn off the traction control next time you drive, if you even can.

If you're sideways you're sideways. Most of the time the car drifts backward as well. It doesn't matter what you driveline is in this situation.

Subaru is even shit at correcting themselves and they're rwd. Nothing can pull out of a slide like this.

Yes, it's clearly so difficult to control a slide in an FWD car:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKziKX9SZ7I

Somebody should tell this guy that he is breaking the laws of physics according to /o/, because he is drifting an FF car with with the throttle (lifting the inner front wheel no less), and keeping perfect control.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUshS0l1dRA

(top tip: this is done by braking the front inner wheel, essentially forcing the power to the outside wheel much like a limited slip diff. It's why limited slip diffs on FF cars feel like the car is pulled to the inside of the corner under acceleration)

Surprise surprise, Honda Civics and various assorted shitboxes are not sports cars, meant to be driven fast, or meant to be anywhere near a track despite what autistic teenagers and poorfags would like you to think. Just so it doesn't seem like I'm picking on Honda this goes for Nissan Toyota and most other Japanese automakers as well. The GTR is probably the only japanese car that can hang.

Why are you comparing the highest spec GTI to a base model Mustang with no options at all?

I'd take the GTI any day. Have you ever been in a Mustang? Interior is complete shit compared to the GTI. Also, 4 doors and a hatch make for a pretty useful vehicle. DSG transmission is quite nice too.

>>15389392

my golf is faster than your car faggit.

come race me on the track bro.

ITT: Idiots who can't drive thinking that what wheels are driven make them better.

I've owned front engine FWD, front engine AWD, front engine RWD cars and front engine 4WD SUV's.

I currently race and daily a FR 2600lb car. I am slow in it, I need to be about 8-10% faster to be competitive at a national level. It's not the car that makes you good. You are either a fast driver that can push a car and feel what its doing or you can't.

If you can't drive a FF car fast, RWD won't help you and driving a RWD doesn't make you a good driver.

That being said, AWD is the superior form of forward motivation for lap times. I find RWD the most fun and a good RWD teaches you more than AWD or FWD will teach you about car control.

Understeer is dangerous but safer for non-car people. All you do is either keep braking or let off the throttle but keep turning into the turn, whereas in FR you can't brake into a turn or you lose your drivewheel stability and must compensate by turning the other direction if you do oversteer.

This is why understeer was touted as a "safety feature". Dumbass women and old farts would just have to keep steering the same way.

>>15391873
FWD teaches more

>>15391928
Not really, FWD gives you understeer, terminal understeer, torque steer and lift off oversteer. Yes you have to carefully manage front end grip to get the most out of a FWD but guess what? You have to do the same in a RWD if you want to be fast. The difference is where you managing it. On FWD its everywhere all the time. Beyond catching a little lift off here and there its all about managing the front end because you're asking it to do basically everything. In a rwd you're managing front end grip on turn in and then managing the balance of back and front on power out.

>>15391522
dude thats base model mustang gt vs base model gti you fucking idiot
look it up if you dont believe me retard

Isn't it more because faggots crashing FWD cars always crash old shitboxes with little to no driver protection at these speeds?

I drive both FF and FR, both have their ups and downs. FF is a fun platform to push to the limit while controlling understeer/left foot braking and all that boiracer shit. FR is always fun to put sideways and is the more balanced and performance orientated of the two. I prefer to drive FF but wont deny that FR is the superior layout..

FWD isnt dangerous at all but snap oversteer is pretty bad especially if its on shit types with a open diff.

They would have had way more control with awd/rwd though FWD tailspin is nuts

Im not suprised

>>15399845
Dude lift oversteer is the worst, it's sudden and hard to control. To recover you need to counter steer while reapplying just the right amount of power to regain control. This applies to pretty much all layouts, point being you need to shift that weight that sprung forward back to the rear. This is easiest in RWD and AWD because the front can act as a pivot. With FWD you lose a lot of your ability to either steer or apply power at the same time.
That's not to mention the other various reasons why FWD is usually slower through a corner.
