SOOOO MUCH UNDERSTEER!!??
I took my S3 to the track a few months ago just to see how it would do and there was SOOO much understeer I was on the grass more than the tarmac!! My track car is a Nissan Pulsar GtiR and it is very similar to the S3. (2 dr hatch, 4cyl., turbo, AWD) So I expected the S3 to perform somewhat like the Pulsar but it has tons more understeer. In order to save space and money I am selling the Pulsar and putting some of that money into my S3 so I can use it as a daily driver / semi-track car. I love the way the Pulsar handles the corners! When you would expect it to start to understeer, you just punch the go pedal and the front wheels pull you through the corner. I guess the difference is the power split between the front and rear wheels. I think the Pulsar is 40 front & 60 rear as I think the S3 is the opposite?? Also, I'm sure the huge weight difference between them doesn't help much either.
What do you guys think? Either way, what can I do to get rid of some of this understeer.
Thanks
