Car doesn't turn from the factory. It is worse when you have the OEM tires, there just isn't enough grip to turn the cow. You just need to back off and be patient. You can left foot brake in this car, but you can't ride the brake pedal while you are on the gas as there is a throttle override. Buy some autox tires and practice, that's all you can do.

In the mostly stock cars I was in the hunt. I turned a 54.501 just behind a 2010 Camero SS that did a 54.343.

Any how, I ran tire pressures of 38 front / 35 rear, its 100% a stock car. My biggest question is understeer, Now I am not quite sure if was lack of grip, lead foot or what. The rear's stuck with the 35 pressure.

I use my left foot for braking, so I got it into 2nd and left there. I feather it through the turns via braking and throttle. It was fun.

So anyone has any suggestions as to what I my problem might be.
