Default Throttle Steering

Fasters, I have read that the GTI on a windy road can almost be throttle steered through a turn. I know we have maniacs out there, so please sound off with your experience. Thanks........

Explain your definition of "throttle steering". You're definitely on to something.

Isn't throttle steer when you are able to change the direction of your fast, when it's in a turn, by applying only throttle and not the use of steering inputs?

Default Re: Throttle Steering

Depending on the use, that would be VERY counter-productive. Very rarely does throttle and steering input ever work in a car without aero-grip. Short of maybe six cars out there on the road today, NO street cars rely on aero-grip. Typically you want EITHER throttle or steering, but if your car is "working" right, you can sometimes get away with early throttle input. Have I confused anyone, because I'm really confused right now!
