What's up with the P5's suspension?

some 25 mph turns are not labeled correctly.

i personally have taken them at 50, and it is riiight on the edge of losing traction if i go much faster. (staying in my lane)
 
ok ok I guess I was just excited hehe i checked it again and its 30mph curve with 2 lanes... I usually overtake 2 cars that are going slow on the right side then I go to the right side a little bit then make the first left turn of the curve where I will end up on the left again then make the next right turn... my top was 60-65mph... its fun!!!! I need new tires now hehe

I just can't stop having fun on the curves... 65 on a 25mph S curve and all I can say is weeeeeeeeeee

:D

I am the same way.......I have this favorite "S turns" onramp that states 25mph. My best speed (with using the all availible asphalt) is currently 65mph. The only thing stopping me from going any faster is my sanity (DAMN!!!).

the p5 handles turns gude..

but it doesn't take bumps that well

Wurd, there is this turn on the freeway when I'm comeing home from work, and it's two lanes...it's marked 40 I think but I usualy take it ok at 60. 65-70 if I'm feeling adventurous. But if I go to the inside lane there is this break in the pavement and it throws the car WAY off. That's called bump steer right? :confused:
 
see I told you somethings wrong with our cars... the FUN-ON-CURVES can't be fixed! :D

Curves scare me, I'm finding out that I take them with the same attitude as when I'm eating and having sex.. with no self CONTROL!!:D
 
there is a tight S turn going out of where I live...you can see all the way through it as there are no trees or anything on this streach of road...it goes through the middle of a turf farm....

anyway...the road is markes at 45 MPH.....I run that S turn at 80 all the time...its a trip....its two lanes...and yes I use both of them when noone is coming...its a blast...then at the next corner its a hard 90 to the right...I run that one at 50 and keep to my lane...then the next is a hard left that is seriously tight...its marked as 20....and the hottest I have made it through is at 43 mph....seeing as how there aren't much in the way of the twisties around here....its about the most fun I can have.
 
That's called bump steer right?

No. If the car is loaded while in a turn and you hit a bump or the like, it upsets the balance of the car and the car will step out. If the balance isn't offset too much, the car may reload. If not, you'll drift of spin.

In short, bump steer is when the front wheels toe/camber/caster (any one or combination of the three) is chaned as the spring/strut assembly compresses. For more info on bump steer, check this out...http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/longtech3.htm
