How do you fishtale in a front wheel drive car?

Question:

Answers:

Not that I would recommend such a manuever, but it's quite easy to accomplish using the park brake, especially if it is a handle by the console. Start making your turn, and grab the brake. If you apply it in pulses while moving the wheel back and fourth (apply briefly in one direction, release, apply again in the other direction, etc...) you can get a great fishtail. Also cool to perform an in-lane u-turn. Spin the wheel and grab the brake - sweet 180 if you have the speed right. Practice in empty parking lots first - don't kill anyone, including yourself.

How do I recognize a tire bubble?

I am an amatuer drifter and I've personally seen guys win drifting meets in honda civics and mitsubishi eclipses, and they all use the e-brake to do it. Just go to an empty dirt lot and practice. Get up to about 15 mph or so and turn sharply while yanking the e-brake. Make sure you hold in the button with your thumb so if you get too sideways, put the brake lever back down and counter-steer. You will get it eventually. But the good old reverse donut works too. Just put it in reverse and stand on it, then whip the wheel around. Also try this in an empty lot, as you wont be able to control the car for about 5 or 6 seconds before you get forward motion again. It's also known as a J-turn. Please be safe and dont do these things where there are other cars, people, or other things to hit. Hope this helps.

What don't you understand..Official 5...Ct. Reg. who;s??

You have to drive at a high enough speed that any sudden veering movements will overcome the rear tires coefficient of friction on that driving surface.hitting the E brake after veering while driving will also do this.

I heard that increasing fleet fuel econmy standards to 35 mpg would eliminate the need for imported oil. T/F?

Once in a fishtail, lay off the EBrake and accelerator and steer with the direction of the slide...smoothly.this will allow the rear tires to grab the terrain again.and you can go about your business...

Apparently nobody knows what fishtailing is, and maybe you don't either. It only happens in a rear wheel drive car on a slippery road, when the back end of the car will swing one way and then the other because each time it swings it throws weight onto the other wheel which lets it push and make the car swing the other way again. Front wheel drive doesn't do that, it does two other things. If it's trying to go uphill on a slippery road, the front end will root around from side to side like a pig for much the same reason a rear wheel drive car fishtails. People do go on about the 'traction' advantage of front wheel drive without considering that as soon as the front tires grab, the car's weight shifts backward and pulls that traction away. In a rear wheel drive car, the weight settles over the back wheels and stays there under acceleration. There are no front wheel drive drag cars.

Reving car engine in Neutral: causes?

The second thing is a bit more frightening. If you fasten a string to the front of a block of wood and pull it along a table, it will stay pointed forward. This is why front wheel drive feels stable. Now put your fingertip against the front of the wood block and push it backward. No fair trying to steer it straight; we're looking for what happens in real life. Which is, that it isn't stable and the back end will go to one side. Remember how under acceleration the weight presses on the rear wheels? Under deceleration the weight transfers to the front wheels, lightening the back. That is a bad thing because all you have to do is drive past the limit of traction (easy to do because the car feels so stable while you're doing it) and then take your foot off the gas. SURPRISE! I would much rather have a rear wheel drive car that won't let me go any faster on a slippery road than a front wheel drive car that won't let me slow down. But I drive economy cars and all you can get is front drive. So beware. The trick to recovery is to kick in the clutch or knock it into neutral and use only the brakes. This can also happen if you're going downhill and try to let the engine hold you back.

How many cars are produced in the world every hour? What source?

As far as REAL fishtailing, forget it. There is no comparable motion in a front wheel drive car.
