e36 M3 have touque stear!?
 
so im surfing www.rx7club.com and i see a thread that says "Z3 or M3?" a few pages into the thread, this guy says:

How the fuck did you jump from a 318ti to a M3 or a Z3? Mom get a raise?


The E36 chassis, while fine for a DD, is quite flawed when pushed hard or fed much power.

The E36 M3 is the only rwd car I've ever driven with a torque steer problem. But I guess you're used to that.
is this true? i dont think its even possable? im pritty sure this isnt even possable... but i thought i might check and make sure just in case. because im not going to listen to some one who says "quite flawed when pushed hard or fed much power."

i thought torque steer usually referred to FWD cars and how when you give it gas in the corner it tends to lift out of the turn rather than hold to the line you put it in. i don't know what the hell this guy is talking about

^^^
that'd be understeer.

but you are right that torque steer is only applicable to a fwd car.

if you're m3 pulls to the left or right you probably need new rtabs or something. a car with good suspension will have no such affect.

Yeah, there is no such thing as torque steer in RWD

nick_318is 01-27-2006 05:44 PM

Yea someone doesn't know what they are talking about, tourque steer is only a FWD problem

craig 01-27-2006 06:31 PM

yeah... but i thought that if you floor it from a stop one wheel might spin more then the other and creat a "torque steer" effect. :dunno. haha. dumb thought i guess.

The guy is a dumbass. Maybe he's only driven one e36 in his life and it happened to be tramlining. MY car is currently suffeering from bump steer.

craig 02-02-2006 12:34 PM
