Post by: yamahonkawazuki on September 16, 2011, 09:07:52 PM
•Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
•Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
•Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
•Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

A layman is one who deals only in terms.

yourself, or i or 99% of gstwin. we know the term, but sometimes confuse others by explaining it. btw i stole that off of GPN. on someones sig. it fit perfectly. it was funny though. because our site is devoted to gopeds, gobikes goquads, and making them faster. no cars
