Handling and steering

It is a really nice colour. It took me months to find one in Nightfire that was in the spec I wanted and unabused. It was worth the hassle - especially now she goes round corners!

I know this is an old Topic, but I did look at the video. I wasn't impressed by Tiff's handling: he just wrenched at the steering without any progressive input and forced the front wheels into breakaway. I think he had already made his mind up on his report and mis-handled the car to prove his point. Maybe I'll feel differently after Clayton goes to the track next month: we'll see.

I took Clayton to Levels International Raceway for an MG Club Day, after new tyres and Bilsteins had been fitted for two or three hundred Km. I found I was happy with the EPAS connected - still enough feel at slow speeds. There certainly wasn't a trace of understeer. I had pretty massive oversteer, despite raising the rear tyre pressure a couple of pounds, from 26/36 to 26/38. I tried different approaches to the corners, but at the limit I still got oversteer. Within the limit it handled well, with just a little opposite lock and good response to power.Levels is not a big track, with a full circuit length of 2.4 Km, so I only saw 160 Km/h at the end of the main straight. Maybe handling would have been different at higher speed. Also, the tyres might be better with a bit more time on them.
