front wheel traction problem???

[kyle986driver]

well, thanks for trying to help but the bottom line is that i am pushing too hard for any car, and am expecting the wrong performance from this car, i have realized that..thanks for your help, but i dont think this thread needs to go on any longer.

It's not that your pushing the car too hard, it's that you don't know how to drive. You can enter a corner too fast and exit flast, but thats not the fastest way through the corner and you end up with understear and a lot of tire squeel.

What feels like the fastest line is not alwasy, your better off to go slower in the corner early apex it and create not under or minimal over stear while accelerating out of the corner.

If your going into the corner too fast your breaking too late or not enough and the car is pushing through the corner scrubbing off a lot of speed, then your too late on the gas coming out of the corner.

Your just not driving correctly vs. driving to hard. A few laps at a track with an instructor will solve your problems quite easily. Sounds like you have the balls, just not the skills. Easily fixed.

I was just about to say the same thing jim.. Sounds like much less a matter of the car's abilities, but much more a matter of Driver experience/skill level. Based on the response to the question about tires where he responded with simply the size of the tires and not the brand and the whole donut thing i'm guessing the latter is the case. He's looking for Mustang like brute performance from a true sportscar that will not be nearly as forgiving for an inexperienced driver.
