  • Wanna be a VW drift king? Re:> Snow ice and ESP is FUN!! & pulling the e-brake

    :thumbdn: :thumbdn:
    Recently I read some stupid threads that the poster is try to promote a non-safe manner to drive the car on the road. They just want to DRIFT, OK. Nothing wrong with that since doing one or two hardcore moves not going to get you killed or your car tip over. What I found the problem is the missing link of understanding on how the car functions provide, namely the ESP. Those functions exist because of #1.make more use of the engine output and #2.help people with lack of basic knowledge about driving techniques. I think the driving technique is in fact missing here.

    When you upset the balance of the car then the ESP will try to correct it. You do not need to pull the e-brakes to trigger that. The ESP is capable to make the correction of the control up to a certain limit. Once beyond the limit is all leave to you to make the correction and usually too late. True racers dislike those electronics because they are having too much involvement on how the car control. Usually the electronics will only slow you down, and this is the false feeling that the car is being under control. I am very curious why you discovered the ESP mystery until now but not in the summer time when the road is clear.

    The favorite line between racers:
    “If you think your car is under control, you’re going slow.”
    “If you think your car is under control, you’re going slow.”

    well if thats directed at me ambrose i've tried to test ESP out in the summer and in the rain but the car wouldn't break loose which is a good thing. In winter since its slippery around its easier to break loose. And FYI I said in my post only do it if its safe around to try it out. The only reason I recommend someone to test thier cars safety/handling is to find how how the car will react in a real world situation so if you did happen to almost ditch it your gonna know how the car is going to handle rather than doing something crazy and going in the other ditch instead. Read my mileage posts its obvious I dont' drive like a jackass right now I have 345km and I've got 1/2 a tank left of petro 91

        hey ambrose, i dont know what kind of snow you have over in hk land, but here a bus wont tip over sliding on snow going sideways at 100km/h, let alone a car, especially one thats lowered, as most have lowered their car here.

        second, when you watch wrc on tv, those are not special effects, people can actually do that, is it hard to believe perhaps people on this board may drive in a similar manner being "killed" or your car "tipping over"?

        lol, oh ya and i have one more thing to say: "SHIZZLE MY NIZZLE"

        ahahahah
