Anyone ever give it much thought, you don't see it much in cars, the new Chevy trucks have it. Porche and Mazda use a rear toe-in type suspension, but it certainly isn't 4 wheel steering. It seems it would not provide much performance or cornering at high speed as it would tend to shift the rear end enertia outward, but I dunno.



Anyone ever given it any thought?

 

is this drunken philosophy?











Ever play Halo? They have those 4 wheel turning truck things, and damn they are hard to control

 

No actually I am sippin on my tea, and had the tv playin on the puter behind me and I heard the gm commercial and thought to myself (mainly because I am the only one here) if 4 wheel steering is SOOO great how come they only have it on the chevy truck.

 

it was kinda of an 80's fad wasnt it?

As far as I know, all cars with 4 wheel steering shuts down that feature at a predetermined speed, usually around 40mph. Yes 4WS would suck at high speed, it's good for parking and manuvering tight corners at low speed

 

Yea I think the prelude even had it at one point, I just don't see what advantage it could provide, I mean low speed yes, cause you aren't pitching the rear, so it would in theory bring it around square a little faster, but **** you get a high speed corner going you would shift your whole rear end out, which would be spin time.

 

i know the latest 300zx's had some sort of 4 wheel turning, and the older preludes did too, i think... i look at it as just another sales gimmick

 

Does the 300Z have four wheel steering?



Damn to slow

 

the millenias have a spot for a rack in the rear
