FWD cars and racing

I can get my Neon fully sideways without the use of a handbrake and I've even spun it in a few corners due to oversteer. It really comes down to how the car is setup. I have a super beefy rear sway bar with stiff springs and struts which promotes oversteer.

Oh you can ask @Beeblebrox237 about that one :lol:
 
For the millionth time it was already starting to go for a month before I even got there.:P

Although yes fwd can oversteer if you throw it in right.;)

Hey!

The first attempt was successful with the two cars behind spinning out trying to keep up.:P

Lol I came flying up with my buddy at the back of the group of cars and all I seen was two cars in the ditch :lol:
 
My emphasis was on FR (in your post), as the first post says RWD and not FR specifically. Also, your original post didn't specify a drivetrain layout.

thank you for the input, and what type of racing would be best?

i'm trying to get into some small scale racing and I already have an '08 dodge nitro SRT all stock but was thinking of doing a trade for an '03 Toyota Corolla manual

SCCA Autocross is a great way to start. And a good place to stay. Or, track days at road courses.

any good locations for this in the northeast NY area? I'm still new to this but am a good driver looking for a good thrill. ps I love going over 100mph on some back roads.

Depending how far up you are, Like Rock Park in Connecticut. Check their website for track day info. https://limerock.com/ About two hour drive from NYC. I drove up there a couple times, when I lived in The Bronx.

New Jersey Motorsport Park https://njmp.com/ Never been there, as it was just built same year I left the USA.

Watkins Glen in the west. https://www.theglen.com/drive-the-glen/ It’s a little past Cornell University. So, about four hours from NYC.

thank you for the advice. But I live about 15 mi south of Watertown NY and those locations are a bit far from where I live.
