Engine cuts out in hard turn with low fuel
This may have been talked about, but I couldn't find anything. My car is a 92 RS V8. If I have less than half a tank of gas and corner hard my gas gauge drops to empty. If I try to give it a lot of gas, it will stall from not getting fuel until I let off. Does anyone else have this? If so, is there anything to do besides keep the tank full?

Did yours do it only when turning fast too, or any time it was low on gas?

Well obviously with low fuel that will happen cause it's all sloshing over to one side. These cars have small tanks and you really shouldn't let it go below half tank. It'll save your pump in the process too by keeping it cool
