Which way do you break loose?

[Hye]

to the right

 

[qball]

Initially it breaks a little to the right.

 

[Tat03Cobra]

well... your not doing it right.. take it to 3000 rpm, drop the clutch and floor it.. guaranteed that you #1 won't break anything and #2 won't get that wheel hop, since your tires will be spinning quite rapidly and not bouncing..

some day, try doing that with 560rwhp, then you wil see why I do not. :shrug:

My car broke to the left when I was on the interstate...that usually seems to be what happens.

 

[FireRed04Vert]

Mine just goes up and down.... :mj:

peace

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Torch10th]

Always to the right

 

[Great8]

95% of the time it breaks to the left, the rest of the time it just dances back and forth. Mmmmmmm torque!!!

 

[flyn high again]

I thought it was the direction the engine spins that creates the torque that sends the rear of the car to the right on dry pavement. However, if your drivers side tire is on dry pavement and your passenger tire is on wet [or more slippery] pavement, the car will go left.

 

[redfire03 svt]

Right all the way, then wheel hop kicks in!!

 

[mike79]

Yesterday, on the highway, I broke loose in third doing 45, to the right. I can never get the car to swing left when pointing strait. How do you guys do that?

 

[Mrcobraguy]

Usauly to the right but it has gone from side to side a few times.

 

[2004Serpent]

they should all break to the right due to the direction that the drive shaft is spinning, sending power in one direction.

im sure if you broke loose in reverse the car should squat to the left.

I think so dont quote me.

 

[2003 Silver]

Hopity-hop from a dead start....to the right a little in second or third. It seems most go to the right....does it correspond at all to the weight of the driver being on the left side?? :shrug:

 

[launchnukes]

I just bounce up and down. Hop, hop, hop :nonono:

hahaha, yeah that and usually a little to the right

I think this is right because of the right hand rule. It is an engineering thing that I can not explain. I think when you go to the left, it is becuase your wheel is tilted (possibly for compensating for you knowing it will go right.) If you are lined up straight, you should go right.

 

[PhillyCobra]

Most high powered cars will steer right (rear swings out to left) on acceleration because the rotation of the driveshaft (pinion) causes a counter rotation of the rear axle (or halfshafts) pusing the left rear tire down and lifting the right. Thus, the left rear has more traction, which tends to steer the car to the left, at least until the Traction Lock tightens up. That's why, if you move the battery to the trunk, you put it on the right, to try to equalize traction.

 

[birch]

If we are speaking in terms of where the rear goes, I always break loose to the left. Don't think I have ever broke loose to the right.

 

[StngStr]

depends on which way I'm turning when they break loose.

 

[stangd1909]

also to the right!

 

[JoeNashville]

always to the right

Every Mustang I have ever had goes to the right. It must be a chassis tuning thing.
