After see andre. loose to a 335i at jap fest on the gymkhna and killit it on the 1/8th mile. we see that the scoobie is the more power full car.
so why did he loose? understeer! his nose was running wide(yes even with AWD). so i did some research and found this. yes it is a copy and paste but i think it will help a few ppl to setup a well balanced car for track as well as drag.
"OVERSTEER-(or "loose")
Oversteer is when the car's rear tires lose grip in a turn while the front tires are still gripping. If the rear end starts to slide out from under you in a turn, that is oversteer. oversteer can be mellowed out by useing a rear sway bar, i like the selections from "the progress group" and "comptech" because the have the rear sub-frame reinforcement built in, which helps sturdy the sway bar mounting points and also prevents tearing of the subframe.
here are some ways to prevent/decrease oversteer-(increase understeer)
*increase front tire pressure
*decrease rear tire pressure
*smaller front tire section
*larger rear tire section
*more positive front wheel camber
*more negative rear wheel camber
*more front wheel toe in
*more rear wheel toe out
*more negative front wheel caster
*stiffer front springs
*softer rear springs
*stiffer (heavier) front sway bar
*softer (lighter) rear sway bar
*more forward weight distribution
UNDERSTEER-(or "tight")
Occurs when the wheels are turned, and the car does not turn at the same rate. Causes the front of the car to take a wider apex than the driver's steering lock requires. Also called push, or tight in the US. Can be corrected by adding more front downforce, sofening springs and rollbar, or reducing front tyre pressure. Extreme conditions cause a car to go straight on instead of turning for a corner.
A car is “understeering” when the rear tires have more traction than the front tires – the front end slides toward the outside of the turn instead of turning into the corner.
to decrease understeer, do the opposite of everything on the above list
