![[Confused]](confused.gif) okay,last night saturday in long beach
i was at the street races. there was about 80 cars there racing and the cops showed up right behind me right as i was on the line to drag.
i smashed the pedal and they tried to keep up
but all the ricer kid where scatering all over the street so the cops had no choice but to slow down because i had human sheilds hehe,not really but cars to get in the way like always.at the end of the quarter theres this harsh 20mph turn,this civic was on the in side and i had to say on the out.i was slowing down from 110 mph then.
i think i was going about 55-60mph at the turn
.the ass end of the car was comming out a little ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) and the i fish tailed it to the right then left
got it straight the my tires locked up a little
as i was making the left turn still ...OVER STEER
right in to the guard rail..luckly by the time i hit it i managed to slow the car down by rippin through all the gears.i hit it at like 5 mph.
took out my marker light and head light cover.
.could have been worse.if i didn't have the over steering prob i would have been fine.
please help me keep my car from ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif) all over the road...i have stock suspension.
this is not the first time i expireance over steer with this car.

I always have the opposite of understeer. You want to turn in a certain direction and the car keeps going straight when you have the wheel turned.
Thats just how the stangs were built man.

it's an oversteer prob
the car goes straight at higher speed turns.+the ass end comes out under a lil'acceleration at turns
this happend when slowing down from 110 mph
to a 20 mph turn...i almost saved it..i did lose control..i know how to drive a car like a ralley driver ,but like i said, shit happens-Over steer not under.i'm still suprise how well ford tried to make this car happen ,but definetly needs somthing a little better for handling and braking
(they fade) gotta love stick shifts ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
please i still am interested in your ideas for over comming this oversteer.
help this pony from all over the road. thanks!
