Asshat Drivers

[bryanthebold]

They are fast, but actually the stock WRX understeers like a pig, and the brakes are nothing to write home about either ... it's all relative I guess.

They really do understeer like a pig...And it sucks ass if you have no idea how to handle it. If you do though...you can push them through corners faster than you can imagine...My RS can easily out handle almost anything out there, and its only because I understand what the cars going to do, and how to prevent it from getting out from under me. Understeer is fixed pretty easy to with WRX's too with simple mods. And yeah...I will agree with the brakes too, although, with a little money, that can be easily fixed too. Only problem I see with the brakes is that my ABS system feels like it is on crack sometimes...I wonder if this is specific to my model.

And if you have a nice set of snows on the thing, I doubt that you will hardly ever experience it "breaking loose".

Your kidding right? I can power slide my snows like there is no tomorrow, and even with some high preformance street specific tires I can make it slide out. I dont do it often though...

Hey brit boy, if you would just stay on the RIGHT side of the road all will be swell.

WRX owner who feels car understeers to much on public highway = asshat driver?

No, I'd say WRX owner that doesn't realize the car pushes and ends up eating a tree after passing on the right around a corner in congested traffic = asshat driver

Sounds more like they're just driving too fast for the prevailing conditions? Making the car handle better probably isn't the answer. Slowing down is far more effective

= asshat

Someone that knows a car pushes, and what to do to fix it, is "probably" more likely to know how and when to drive like a fiend. But you're right - making a car handle better doesn't improve the nut behind the wheel.
