Recently bought a c4 corvette cause it seemed like an underrated performance car with a good bang for your buck value. Thing is I’m used to driving an economy car. What are some tips for a rwd and relative high power car? I’m coming from a hybrid econobox so yes it’s vastly different.
I’d recommend you take it easy for a while and learn the car. In inclement weather in a RWD performance car drive as safe as possible and I don’t just mean rain, even if it’s dry out if there are leaves or sand on the road you can easily spin out if you’re applying even a little bit of power while turning.
Can tiny leaves or sand really do that to rwd cars? I mean don’t get me worry, I understand it’s a concern for bike riders, but for cars that weigh more than a ton? That sounds weird.
It will. The worst is gravel/round pebbles on asphalt. They act like bearings, very easy to lose traction. Leaves are not bad if they are dry, but when wet the traction is seriosly compromised. Sand on asphalt is nit good either.
Gotcha, that’s good to know…thanks for the explanation
