Have you guys noticed that the G likes to oversteer with very little provocation? Around here we have some very old back roads (read polished...), and some new construction ones. I can pull onto an old street under trailing throttle at 15 mph or less, and the back end will slide gently around the corner. Even on fast sweepers under throttle (but not punching it), oversteer will happen. Understand, this is without me trying to do so.

Are you seeing the same thing? Not that it's necessarily a problem, and sometimes I'm making it happen; it's just surprising that sometimes it happens for seemingly no reason...?

 

Slow down. Although, I would rather oversteer than understeer any day. But seriously I have noticed it as well and a tire upgrade is in order when I burn these up.

 

i think you mean understear.

 

No, he's talking about snap oversteer. He used the right term, and he spelled it the right way.

 

hahah.. +1

 

LOL

 

Haha.

 

I love it- it was one of the deal clinchers for me when I saw how well the S was set up right out of the showroom. The fix? I think that better than more rubber, which will delay and create even more inertial to deal with, take a reputable driver's ed course at a racetrack and learn how to live 300 hp in so capable a car. There is no safer way to learn the car, especially if they have a wet skidpad, and the daily payoff is well worth the cost

 

no matter what.. get a softer tire.. Like a pilot sport... or get wider one's~!

 

I want the tires on MTV's Pimp My Ride where when you light them up, pink smoke comes from the tires

 

^-----no.

 

pwned.. lol nice catch

 

I appreciate that input, and you'd typically be correct. In this case though, I've already done racetrack courses and can handle the car fine thanks - I'm just curious about whether others are experiencing this, or if it's just the lousy roads around here.

 

I haven't noticed that on the roads around here but they are all mostly new, do you have the VDC on? By "polished" do you mean the slick, non asphalt type? We used to have those in some areas of NYC before the city repaved everything. Those could be fun...

 

Yeah, the really old asphalt roads with embedded pebbles - that are eventually polished smooth by traffic. It's with VDC on and off (obviously it's a bit more noticeable with it off ).

A couple of roads are so slick that even from a straight rolling start in dry weather, when you hit about 5k rpm in 1st the the tires will start to spin and fishtail. BUT, it's not only on those roads that the oversteer occurs.
