These cars are powerful enough to break traction at higher speeds and higher gears

when that happens the car will behave as if on ice, the rear of the car will start to slide away from the crown in the road towards the ditch. This in itself is not enough to cause what you're seeing, but a driver who hasn't experienced this before will likely panic and over-correct and over-correct again until the car is in the ditch

- Sliding wheels want to lead rolling wheels, like when you rip the e-brake and spin. - absolutcq20v 2016-11-10 19:07:33 (157 views)

  - Hmmm. Thanks for the response. Sounds logical. - DC_HOKIE 2016-11-04 11:30:28 (165 views)
    - Add to it that the grip level on regular roads isn't always great. Whether it be due to dirt, fluids - bobster4 2016-11-07 11:26:29 (167 views)
  - Also, the traction control, from what I understand, doesn't work in 3rd/4rd gear in Vettes - Goldie 2016-11-04 09:57:45 (180 views)
    - what is the reason/logic behind that? the disable in 3rd and 4th? - BSK 2016-11-04 18:46:41 (155 views)
    - Ooof - that sounds painful. - DC_HOKIE 2016-11-04 11:29:24 (165 views)
