A while back Orlove did a writeup on “terminal understeer”. (Attempting to make Patrick George feel better for the Camaro Fracas?)

At that time I replied with a road test clip of a 70 Impala plowing through a turn. I wish I had this pic at that time.

You know full well just by looking at this pic that the car is not doing what the body roll and turned wheels suggest. That is terminal.

Oddly, that Eldo’s face looks a lot like every Malaise Ford that had hidden headlights too..

Odd.

That’s the Video I put up in Orlove’s comments.

How did that tire not blow off the wheel? How? That car should have been sparking like it was being chased on COPS!

It always make me scratch my head that mfg’s “engineer” understeer into a car. But I guess that oversteer would be worse.

OMG I’m surprised the tires didn’t pull off the wheel. That’s is a super soft sidewall.
