Question about cornering...
I don't know if this is the correct section to post the thread but here it goes. I have a '13 base with the sport package. I'm a complete newbee with this car so please excuse me if I don't describe my situation the way it should be laid down. When I go into a corner at a high rate of speed the back of the car seems to 'slide' a little bit. Is this what they call 'roll' ? Is it the LSD not reacting the way it should ? I thought I read that the car pulls a full g on the skid pad, however, this definitely shakes my confidence in the car's ability to be thrown into a corner. Once again, please excuse me for my inability to describe the situation. :confused:

From your post, I would suggest a driver's training course. You'll learn all kind of things you'll never know by google.

I really hope this is a question about track driving
How fast are we talking? Springs/sways/better tires all enhance your cornering ability |
Wow....you're missing the meat of the question I guess, I knew my description would confuse. No, I'm not street racing. No, I don't need driving lessons. When I go into a corner with some speed the rear of the car seems to slip a little bit or slides and then it catches and then rounds the corner like it should. I'm 44 years old and I'm a LEO so street racing or drifting is out of the question for me. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal and if I need to upgrade something.

If there is a bump, manhole, or something in the road the rear can jump and get unsettled in a turn. Or it could be over-steer depending on your speed and how much gas you're putting down. Anything else is beyond my knowledge :ugh2:

You don't "throw" a car into a corner. I agree with the poster that recommended a training course.

I have never driven a BMW and really don't have the money for a new one. I have a little over 1K on the car now. It's not something I do every day, I think I've got it to do it 3 times now. I thought it may be the tires but when do they officially break in? First time it happened was after about 400 miles. I drive home from work sometimes and it's still dark (early morning) and I'll go into a corner with some throttle when nobody is around. I keep thinking it may be the LSD not working correctly.

Are you leaving the VDC on? Because it sounds like its kicking in.

Doubt it's LSD. Might be VDC if you're "throwing" the car into the corner. Smooth inputs. :) |

Honestly driving a Z is not the same as driving a police car. I've got the experience too and this thing isn't close to my impala. A little humility could go a long way dude.
