Whiplash effect It seems when I get my car to loose traction around turns or powerslide type driving when it finanaly gets traction it feels like a side to side whip lash. Thats the best I can describe it. When i watch videos of 240s drifting or other european cars power sliding it seems like when they come out of turns and get traction its a smooth transition, or maybe it just looks that way. I would call Strano but I thougtht someone would inevitable know here as well.

Because when you gain grip, you get it back in a hurry.... Drift cars don't, and that's the idea..... We don't want to be powersliding all over the place as it's slow. Play with shock settings, they will change the rate of roll--slowing it down if you turn them up, which you might like better.

One more thing, heres a video of f-bodies drifting (they come in around half way though) so you can see they are definetly capable of drifting.

that used to happen to me, and it was because i let out of the throttle to end the slide, when you need to throttle it slightly at the end of the slide to make it smooth. making it smooth just comes with practice
