As for the GT3. I think she was correct in that. When you turn the back end weighs more so it doesnt follow the corner as quickly as the front thereby inducing understeer. |
Plowing = Understeer
I'm pretty sure it means the car pushes wide into corners, which means understeer.
Most 911's are setup to understeer a little so the general public does not kill themselves. Just never lift or brake during a turn. Since the engine is in the back, when u brake or lift off, the weight transfers to the front, which is fine in a straight line. But do it in a corner and that will send the back end out. Not as much anymore in modern 911's due to PSM, but still very possible. Understeer can be corrected w/ proper modulation of the throtle.
