That’s what they get for shutting of traction control. When I do it, the car gets sideways and is not really correctable by counter steer since it’s so heavy. Even going straight floored the car’s back end swivels in the back until it gets traction.
It drives my wife crazy when I get sideways except with this car it’s not to easy to recover if you go to far. Hell, in my RX-7 I could steer with the accelerator pedal and counter steer out of almost anything. That’s what happens when a car has about 50 50 weight distribution and no traction control or ABS.
The guy said he was taught to stomp on the breaks and the clutch, I believe you’re also supposed to drive your way out of it since he had ABS; not just sit there and expect the best.
You make a lot of sense LX. I agree that stomping on the clutch and brake and white-knuckling the steering wheel is probably taught from a liability standpoint. :o)
Steering out of a problem that is exacerbated by traction control and AWD sensors is going to cause more of these accidents since half of them don’t know what traction control is and the other half turn it off. ;o)
