Just wondering why when I watch in car turbo mustang videos the steering wheel is moving all over the place. Most of them seem to be out of control which is awesome. Seems to only be the stick cars.

Is this how a car reacts with 500 HP? Or do they have to much rear gear? Just wondering what you think.

They are moving the steering wheel back and forth to stay striahgt? Why?

cuz there trying to plant like 600hp to the tires on the street, and even if you have a stock car in 1-2nd gear you try to keep it straight by moving the wheel.
lots of wheelspin, thats all.

Yeah they just can't hook up. They have so much power and no traction. Even a car with high 400's in a fox would be like that.

Start doing a little work to your motor, and you will see why.

Not mine. It launches straight and rarely breaks loose at freeway speeds. I'm thinking a good majority of the uncontrollable setups are running street tires rather than drag radials….or are pushing far more than 500h/p at the wheels.
