Audi's A5 gets in shape for 6-Series scrap

[Famine]

Whats there not to understand. You can powerslide by getting a car out of shape, that doesnt mean the car can oversteer in normal driving conditions.

As Tiff, indeed, demonstrates.

Powersliding involves oversteer

What tiff and JP were doing wasnt oversteering. It was powersliding/drifting/ Absolutely completely different from oversteer.

Make your mind up.

but not like how your trying to say it is. There are cars that CANT powerslide, yet oversteer.

Yes. Oversteer is not drifting, but drifting IS oversteer.

This is not:

What tiff and JP were doing wasnt oversteering. It was powersliding/drifting/ Absolutely completely different from oversteer.

Oversteer is not drifting, but drifting IS oversteer. A rectangle is not a square, but a square IS a rectangle.

For some reason you think because the RS4 cant drift its not capable of oversteering, a fact in which you are wrong. Like I said there are VIDEOS of the RS4 oversteering. Go check them out, and you shall soon see where im coming from

The whole point of the argument is that I said the RS4 can be coaxed to oversteer. Scaff disagrees.

It CAN drift. Tiff demonstrates this. It's just not very good at it and, as they say out loud in the tape:

Jason Plato: It doesn't want to oversteer in a nice way does it?
Tiff Needell: No, that's all I can do.
Jason Plato: It's either all or none.


Any car can be coaxed into oversteer, if you're rough enough with the brakes.

This is infact exactly what im getting at

Congratulations. You've now entered the Twilight Zone.

Congratulations. You've now entered the Twilight Zone.

Now that is sig-worthy. Too bad mine is full.

Poverty, I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but on this topic, your brain is not. I really suggest that you admit the error and move on to learn more about it, rather than trashing the entire living room so your mom won't notice you broke her vase.

 

[Poverty]

Your most probably right.

I apologise for being argumentative.

The whole point of quattro is for the driver to be in total control of the car all the time, and to inspire confidence.

in that Vid the driver had better control on the car than the RS4 did

I must say the new A5 and S5 looked both good.
