Not Happy with Performance Pack Traction this am

[CR151S]

I'm siding with driver error. OP, take your car to a track event or autox, and drive it at its limit. Get an instructor to ride with you. I suspect, based on a very limited explanation of what happened, you tried to brake and turn at the same time. But not like HARD brake, more of a slight brake, and then the sliding starting.

Knowing how your car is going to react before it happens is a lifesaver. Threshold braking vs ABS is wildly different stopping distances. How to get weight on the front wheels to stop understeering like a snowplow. How much throttle you can apply and and what rate to apply more throttle.

Exactly what I was expecting happened

Did that my friend...not enough obviously though. I wonder if the GT350 that I almost bought would have done the same...lol I'm guessing not.

same 10mph too fast corner entry speed and same tires, yeah a GT350 would have gone off too. Tires are 90% of grip, and the other details that matter aren’t that different between the two cars. You’d have cringed harder in the Shelby tho, at least you can laugh it off on the forums with the GT.

shelby guy is wondering if he’d have gone off if he had a cayman. cayman driver is wondering if he’d still have gone off in a 911. The miata guy who didn’t go off but managed just fine with a full 25 degrees of body roll the whole way through the corner knows you can buy a fast car … but you still have to drive it.

Welp, found out why this morning...need new front tires at 13,600mi.

Yeah those pirellis… i didn’t hate the grip as much as some but they did wear out real fast.

nows a good time to refresh your alignment.

I will say, the GT350 brakes are immediate. My experience in the GT is that the brakes take a second before they really engage. Basically I can mash my brake, get all the weight up front, then turn, where at the GT, it was almost like I had to hold them for a second to get the same weight transfer.

But I can plow my 350 through corners with the best of them . Glad you got new tires, it will improve the grip for sure.
