VGS in practice: how much, how sudden ?
Hi all,
The JDM type-V has VGS, the concept of which has been discussed often but seldom illustrated.
Does anyone have a chart showing wheel angle as a function of speed, for a given steering wheel angle ?
Or, without a chart, can someone enlighten me on how much of an impact speed has on the wheels angle, is it linear ? Suppose you come off a highway on a constant radius turning ramp and realize that trafic is blocked ahead so you brake: as your speed decreases in the ramp, do you have to also reduce the steering angle, or else the VGS will increase the wheels angle and eventually drive you off road ? Can a sudden brake in a sharp turn actually result in a dangerous situation, where it's hard to say where your wheels are headed and loss of control is possible ?
