Understeer is where you go forwards through the hedge on the outside of the corner...
Oversteer is where you go through the hedge backwards...
Horsepower is how fast you go through the hedge...
Torque is how far you take the wall with you...... and,
Handling is how you got to the hedge in the first place !
