meh, doesn't need huge amounts of power..
as others have said, it depends on angles etc..

you will probably find that if you have a passenger who weighs same as you, the car will track straight.. and if you have a heavy bugger beside you, opposite happens..

weight transfers rearwards.. most weighted side of car gets more traction, that wheel pushes the car more, and rear pushes to that direction, as that wheel tries to spin the car about it's axis.

i have same in my old rolla, but the difference with and without passengers is huge as most ppl weigh more than 10% of my cars weight..

so basically... if you always drive alone, move weight to the passeneger side... or take a friend when you drive in the wet (if they are all too scared, pick up hitch hikers Laughing )

Cya, Stewart
