In Reply to: whats wrong with the TT anyways? (more) posted by Kei Mak on February 11, 2000 at 15:54:03:

Several factors contribute to the TT high speed problems:
* short wheelbase (= high speed instability)
* trail throttle oversteer (just like my 692002!)
* driver error (over-confidence- I would guess in most sane situations the TTQ stays stuck very well, NOT at high speed) and why are these guys driving so fast on public roads?
* Aeordynamics - maximum lift will occur when? near max speed.

Combine all these factors and the result is a lot of arrogant MF flying off the road.
and of course the resultant wah wah, whine bitch moan "they want to reduce the road feel and put a spoiler on my work of art" cry baby syndrome.
Did I mention the brakes on these things fade faster than a cheap red shirt? and "oh you mean I NEED snow tires?"

ad nauseum.
sorry.


: i don't know the situation. All i know is that the suspension of the TT is not good in high speed. That is the part i do not understand. What is the problem with its rear suspension design? I m not a fan of the TT but i just don't know why they could design a suspension setup to be lossing control in high speed. Do anyone know what is the problem of this design. Also, will my M Coupe have that same kinda problems? Do i also need to add a wing or spoiler to keep it stable like the TT?
