The Titan is a bit weird at times, it has what's called ABLS, Active Brake Limites Slip. Basically the ABS system working in reverse, when a tire slips the ABS sees the slip and applies brakes to that wheel, thus the torque transfers to the other side of that axle because in theory it has more grip. So in reality sometimes during a power induced oversteer when both back tires are spinning and the truck is fishtailing nice, the damn thing suddenly hooks up with traction and the fishtail stops. Well when you are hanging on to the drift with the steering input and suddenly it hooks up, you need to straighten out that steering wheel fast. It's really kind of fun and bizzare all at the same time. Silly technology... |
Mini Cooper S, FWD baby!
when you turn the TCS off though its like a go kart, I swear leaning into turns makes a differance. |

Rented it, they already asked me if I'd like to buy it.
Its 3400 sq feet, one level all marble and whatnot. Hottub, blah blah shit, boat launch etc. You may drive your wife's Mini, but your accommodations in Florida are :thumbup: |
