Car can't grip road and goes sideways..need opinions
Car can't grip road and goes sideways..need opinions
Check my signature for info on my car. It says I have auburn posi. I do, but it's not installed yet. So my rear is OPEN.
The roads here are dry.
I went through a puddle while exiting Red Lobster . I drove down the road a little then gunned it in 2nd gear. My car started going no where while RPMs were rising. Was this because my tires were a little wet? Do I have to much hp for street tires to be doing this? Is it because of the open rear I have?
What can I do to prevent this?? Any suspension mods?
I really do not want to wreck my car again...
