Rear-engined cars handle differently in tight turns than do front-engined cars. I damned near flipped out my 1960 VW in 1970 due to "trailing throttle overstreer". Take it to the bank, lad,. GM's only problem was in not advising its customers of the situation. It is not a problem: it is just a situation. That little cheap +_)(*&& jerk, Nader, tried to make a case against VW and Porsche which was bouced rapidly out of Court as these companies HAD advised their customers of "trailing throttle oversteer". Nader was a shit. He has always been a shit. He is a shit today. Contact me off-List if you really want to know how I feel abut this obnoxious bit of detergent chaff. He is, in short, a great example of, well, a shit. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
