Ok I want to hear the story behind this :yelrotflmao:
2008 Chevy Slobalt
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Yes I own 2 slow red chick cars & 1 real car!

nothing too extravagant. just put the 4th transmission in this car, a new torque converter and gears. punched it at like 50, pulled great...got to 100-110ish and something let go. apparently this is pretty common for fbodies making over 300whp with stock torque arms.
