Similarly, during changes in direction (lateral acceleration), weight transfer to the outside of the direction of the turn can occur. Weight transfer is generally of far less practical importance than load transfer, for cars and SUVs at least. For instance in a 0.9g turn, a car with a track of 1650 mm and a CoM height of 550 mm will see a load ...
The amount a tire meets the road is an equation between the weight of the car and the type (and size) of its tire. A 1000 kg car can depress a 185/65/15 tire more than a 215/45/15 tire longitudinally thus having better linear grip and better braking distance not to mention better aquaplaning performance, while the wider tires have better (dry ...
Corvette Z06 Takes Tumble Off Dealer Service Lift Jason Grubb/YouTube Some Chevy dealers apparently still struggle to understand that the weight distribution of the mid-engine C8 is different from ...
The tires have dimensions of 275/30ZR20 at the front and 345/25ZR21 at the rear, and the Z07 Performance Package comes standard with Michelin Cup 2 R ZP performance tires. [47] Chevrolet claims that the optional carbon fiber wheels, supplied by Australian manufacturer Carbon Revolution, [48] shave off 41 lb (19 kg) of unsprung weight. [49]
Lift-off oversteer (also known as trailing-throttle oversteer, throttle off oversteer, or lift-throttle oversteer) is a form of sudden oversteer.While cornering, a driver who closes the throttle (by lifting a foot off the accelerator, hence the name), usually at a high speed, can cause such sudden deceleration that the vertical load on the tires shifts from rear to front, in a process called ...
The differing weight placed on the tires by the front and rear axles causes uneven wear. With the majority of cars having the engine in front, the front tires typically bear more weight than the rear tires. Front-wheel drive vehicles have not only the engine but also the transaxle in front, adding to the weight difference. Moreover, additional ...
Georgia will rebound from last weekend’s loss to Mississippi and make the College Football Playoff as an at-large pick. Doing so would eliminate Tennessee and move the Rebels into the 12-team field.
Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.
