Really Been Throwing It Around Lately
Just like the title says, I've been driving around a lot lately with the traction control off, not completely disabled but the one that leaves the orange exclamation
in the triangle on. The other one still scares me haha, but anyway, I've been letting the PS2s have it every chance I get a clearing and I have to say, this thing is pretty tough to handle!
I mean, clearly the suspension is not much help even with the sport mode, it still feels kinda wobbly but maybe thats because my technique needs work. I've definitely lost it a bunch of times! Its kinda scary I'm glad I haven't hit anything, I guess I'm not that bad but once or twice I def got lucky.
Does anyone else do this? What are your thoughts on it? Do you find the car hard to control when you slide it? I want to get better at and have better control over it but I need more practice. Any good advice out there?

Before the brabus module my car felt very "lose" and hard to handle. Getting the tires to grip where you want them was hard. I got the brabus module installed and on frim 2 settting it handles ALOT better. The suspension is alot firmer and steering is a lot precise. I've noticed you can't really power throttle yourself out of trouble but maintain certain speed and steer your self to correct.

Now when you raise your car up, how high will it sit? Thats a concern for me I drive NYC often.

Yea its clearly true this is not a handling car, but after watching that youtube video of the MKB CL throwing up fireworks off the trunk mid-drift I thought maybe I'm just doing something wrong...
