Great responses!...I'm glad to have once again raised a question that
many were interested in!

In stock form, (alignment specs), the Tr-6 "does" tend to
understeer...If the car is out of trim the effect can be quite alarming
to say the least!

To end this discussion...or maybe further it...what is neutral steering?

I have my TR "set-up" so that I can safely approach a curve, with power
on", and put all four wheels into a controlled slide.

I know that this is the objective when racing! I've done it before.

But why not set-up your suspension to be optimal for everyday driving?

You will never know when you might need it?

I never street race, or run red lights, or do anything else that may
cause injury or damage to those who use the roads for a means to get to
work and back home!
