      Looking at the Corvair, the problem was not that it had severe enough oversteer to cause tuck under, but that it rolled from a stop with the typical understeer of all american cars, and the steering balance shifted from understeer, through neutral, to over steer as the speed increased. Evading the moose at 50 MPH may have been a safe, if frightening, maneuver to do, but trying it at 60 MPH turned the Corvair broadside to the direction of travel and sent it rolling sideways down the road. Everyone killed in one of these rollovers had no idea that the vehicle needed very little steering input for an emergency lane change at high speeds, so they applied a big input and the suspension gave an amplified, instead of subdued, response.
      One of the things that shoved bees up Ralph Nader's backside is the huge number of people that knew about the Corvair's "lively" characteristics that made it a "handful for the inexperienced driver" but refused to admit publicly that ham-fisted driving of the Corvair, at speed, was likely to get you killed, despite being reasonably safe in a front engined american car. [If you read Nader's "Unsafe at any Speed", you will understand why the book had to be written] What made the Corvair unsafe at any speed was the non-collapsible steering column that was the first part of the car to stop in a collision after the bumper and the geometry of its installation that positioned it to catch your face in a head on collision, as the front end crumpled. The lack of shoulder restraints meant that the first thing to apply a force to the head of the driver was the steering wheel.
      Another example of a vehicle's characteristics potentially leading an inexperienced driver is the contrast between the behaviors of front engined, front wheel drive cars and front engined, rear wheel drive cars. The RWD is a bit safer, not because it performs better, but because as the vehicle approaches the limit, it becomes more difficult to control as you get closer to the limit-- the rear end seems to float before it fishtails and it fishtails before the vehicle swaps ends leaves the road, rear bumper first. The FWD is a little less safe, because, although it must go further to hit the limit, your first indication that you have exceeded the limit is when the road curves and inertia ignores your pleas to follow the road.
      Some cars really are more dangerous than others.

    2:06 This car had a frame made of extremely thin aluminum tubes and a geometry optimized to a minimum. It was very efficient! Unfortunately, during the tests, a weld failed and a complete loss of control ensued. They decided to solve the problem of the welds by inflating the frame with helium, with a pressure gauge on the dashboard, indicating to the pilot that a weld was cracking ...

    My two cents on corvairs. The designers of the car wanted a front sway bar on all cars, but as GM was trying to market an 80hp economy car they did not include it at first. The front sway bar was an option from 61-64 and helped. In 64 they fixed the swing axle design with a camber compensating leaf spring. In 65 they changed to full independent rear axles like a corvette and the front sway bar was standard equipment. I have driven many different years and all I will say is if you get the tire pressures right they drive great. Even the stock 1960 models with 80hp drive fine. If you put equal tires pressures all the way around the handling is a handful.

    The first bunch of Audi TT had no spoiler on their unusually round rear end and because of that they had snap oversteer and multiple people were killed before Audi was finally forced to put a spoiler on the rear.

      The TT is such an ugly car... like if you roughly design only 1/4 of the chasis and then just copypaste the rest 3 times around and you get a whole car design. I don't mind when this is done by a french manufacturer. They are different in France. Speedo in the middle and such weird things :D but a german manufacturer...

    @eddiestevenson-kaatsch6306 6 років тому +1

    I cannot comment on the Tatra T77, but have driven the T87 extensively. Its reputation is due not to any fundamental flaws, but because the young Nazi officers were so unused to a car that could easily top 150kph and had excellent acceleration as well. Their experience was with front-engined cars with fairly low power to weight ratios and using cart springs. Badly serviced, with low tyre pressures, the Tatra puts your heart in your mouth. I recall crossing Chelsea bridge northbound and proceeding sideways down the carriageway, crossing a pedestrian island (nobody on it, thank goodness) with the front wheels on the left and the rears on the right of it... which was when I realised I needed to visit the very next garage to top up the tyres. They are very much like an early Beetle or 911 to drive. The steering is light and direct, quite sporting really, there is a mostly synchronised gear-box, excellent brakes and almost no rear vision whatsoever. They go like stink, not just for an old car, but compared to modern cars too. I had to do a modification on the manifold in an attempt to get better airflow from the twin-choke downdraught carburettor. I was a bit ashamed of 'cheating', but later that year on my visit to the Tatra museum, I discovered that Hans Ledwinka (the designer) himself, had made an identical modification on their test engine! The cars are very art-deco inside and ride absolutely sublimely, a lesson to modern chassis engineers in how to get it right first time around. There are a lot of false stories circulated around by those with no personal knowledge of certain cars and this ultra rare model is a prime example. This is one of the very few cars ever made that MUST be numbered in the collection of any serious connoisseur.

    Claiming a Corvair is unsafe is Nader propaganda. Cheverolet didn't upgrade it right away due to the findings by the gov committee that the car far exceeded handling requirements and out performed many vehicles of the time. They specifically pitted it against the VW bug and determined it was safer in just about every aspect. No one ever says the VW is hard to drive...

    • @cudwieser3952
      @cudwieser3952 7 років тому +7

      It is true the updated cars are good cars and are insanely collectable now, but the first run of them did suffer handling issues (car had over 100hp while the beetles made barely 50hp. The extra power and weight mated to a chassis that hadn't yet existed it was almost inevitable something would go wrong). While propaganda is always an issue, in the case of the corvair it wasn't entirely false. Also what is to say the testing wasn't rigged. Governments are often bought and paid for by rich men (and W C Durant was a very wealthy man).

    • @dragonbutt
      @dragonbutt 7 років тому +1

      But the Corvair was genuinely unsafe. Not to the degree that Nader proposed, but the swing axle design, weight distribution and tire technology of the time... It was pretty unsafe.
      The VW comparison is a total fallacy. "Safer in every aspect"? Considering what counted for safety back then, of course such a claim would fly. In reality, the slower, shorter, much better sorted beetle is the safer car (Formula Vee is a thing. Formula Corvair is not).
      Also the VW claim is usually made by people who have a hard on for the Corvair. People who forget that other manufacturers were already reeling from the hard-learned lessons about rear engine rear wheel drive designs. AKA its no different than Porsche or Tatra or Renault cars of the era. They were F*cking dangerous to even skilled drivers, and are much more comparable to the Corvair than any year of Beetle. The technology to make them any less dangerous simply didnt exist at the time.

    You are in fact wrong about the Corvair these lies have been spread for too long by Ralph Nader. In 1972 A&M University proved it was not unsafe at any speed. One real fault in the earlier years of Corvairs was the optional heater which if there was a leak could get carbon monoxide in the cabin. These cars handle better than most cars of its era and on par with many of this era.

    • @dragonbutt
      @dragonbutt 7 років тому

      Funny how those findings still dont negate the dangers of the design, which can be demonstrated in any car like it. Its not "Unsafe at any speed" under controlled conditions by experienced drivers. It can be lethal on a dark backroad in the dew-heavy morning hours.
      The handling "better than most cars of its era" comes at the price of stability, just like any other swing axle car of the era.
      "On par with many of this era". Not even close. Tire technology, suspension technology, a whole boatload of technology makes sure of that. Its why the design pretty much stayed in that era (and more importantly, was phased out of the corvair in 65). Its pointless now.

    The Corvair does not do that, the legend was sparked by the book unsafe at any speed. where the authors best friend was killed, and made it sound worse than it was.when they tested the corvair they couldn't find the situation that made the car roll over.
    Further more this was america's attempt at a more sophisticated car, and that twat ruined it.

      All the people who wrecked their Corvairs and killed themselves just did it to help sell Ralph Nader's book. My dad sent at least a dozen of those death traps to the scrapyard for a penny a pound. They were fun to drive in a straight line but unsteerable in winter. GM recommended over inflating the tires to make it safer to drive but that did not help a damned bit in snow. The things were awful.

    I'm an Australian. Let's talk about a few Australian cars. The FJ Holden was basically a nice old thing, and the first almost Australian car. But a combination of bumps (long low subsidence type) and bend, and you could roll an FJ very easily. '50s British cars sold well in Australia, and the roads were full of them in the late '60s when I was a child, but the Morris Minor stands out as bit of bomb. A small car with no power at all, it was narrow and top heavy, and you could tip one ever without much trouble. In the mid '60s, we started racing series production cars. In theory, they were standard cars, but in practice, most were tuned up to some extent. Ford (Aus, not Ford U$) made a GT Falcon, and then a GT with Handling Options. That meant it got stiffer rear leaf-springs, and very little of the built-in understeer most cars of that era had in abundance. A 351 Cleveland in a GTHO falcon, was quite a fun car, but you did have to know what you were doing. It was said to be (in 1973) the fastest 4 door sedan made and sold anywhere in the world. It was good for a mid 12 sec quarter, and well over 160 mph, and it was taily. You really needed to know what you were doing to drive a HO at all fast... They're worth a lot of money today, because about half of them were destroyed in crashes...
    The early VB and VC Commodores were an extreme revolution for Australian cars. They were smaller and lighter, and they actually handled. Huge fun to drive. And you could drive them sideways like a rally car, and it wasn't even all that hard to do. They were a MUCH easier car to drive like that, than all the old stuff. Unfortunately, they'd begun life as an Opel Kadet, and when you put a 5 litre V8 in them and drove them on Australian roads, and hit something... they had a tendency to break in half pretty easily, and kill you. Lovely easy car to drive though, lots of fun. If the Brits think of a 2 litre Escort, then imagine a 3.5 litre Rover V8 dropped in it, stroked out to 5 litres... that's sort of a little bit what an early Commodore was like. Heaps of fun they were, but you didn't want to hit anything in it....
    In 1980, Ford got worried about the new Commodore, so they completely reworked the Falcon. The engine and gearbox and most of the mechanicals stayed very much the same, but it got a whole new body, in a square boxy shape. The first version had a leafspring rear end, and a very slow recirculating ball steering system. It was pretty much taken out of the XB and the XC before it, and went into the XD almost unchanged. And the XD handled and behaved itself quite well, as long as you drove it very slowly. If you started to go a bit faster, it sat fairly flat in corners and pointed reasonably well, and provided mild encouragement. So you tried a bit harder, and sooner or later the back would step out. Then the lights went out. Then the chassis stopped talking to you. Then the bench-seat became a water-bed, and the chassis became a prison, and the steering became a large decorative object in your hands, and then you invented a medium sized dent in the landscape. A standard XD Falcon 6 or 8 - is the most lethal car I have ever driven. It does everything reasonably well, right up to the point where you lose grip at the back and need some opposite lock. And at that point, it turned on you like an old horror movie... The wheel went dark in your hands. The car stopped saying anything to you at all, except "Right! Now you're screwed! Smart boy, are you? Watch this!" Rotten bloody things they were....
    They did gradually revise them and improve them, but in about 2002 they put a rack & pinion steering in, and suddenly most of what had been wrong, was fixed. Each subsequent one simply got better. A modern Falcon is actually quite a lovely car. If you get a turbo Falcon, they're not only nice, they're quite fast, and it's not hard (or expensive) to tune them. You can get lots of power quite easily out of the old Ford straight 6, and you can enjoy it.
    It's ironic. As a kid, I liked Holden and hated Ford. the XD did nothing to change that. But then slowly they started to make really nice Falcons. And now Ford and Gen Motors have both closed up shop and gone to sulk in America, and just when we learned after 55 v~ 60 years, how to really build a good car, we no longer do it. We stick Holden & Ford badges on south korean and chinese shitboxes, and sell then as Australian cars... perhaps there's a lesson in that. Don't get good at something, because it only ends in tears. Once you start to get good at it, it will get taken away from you.

      Also Nader has nothing to do with "Bubbly looking cars". European advancements in safety and global advancements in aerodynamics have everything to do with it.

    The Mercedes A class had an specific problem that was completely solved when Mercedes had sold just some few units.

Any A class of the first generation is outstanding in handling. It even passes the moose test at speeds above many 2018 model cars, including the Porsche Macan. It wouldn't hurt if you did a better research.

      Or they could just use more advanced valvetrains or injection, just like other (european, japanese) manufacturers did, getting similar power from far smaller engines also sold in the US. Also old american engines were quite overrated in terms of maximum hp because of the measuring method (SAE Gross), which added even 1/3 power compared to european methods or later used SAE Net.

The reason why the Ford Mustang gets a bad rap is because, like you said, the cocky 16-25 year old dudes (sometimes middle-aged men and Danica Patrick wannabe women) drive them HARD like it's a real sports car. They don't realize that the Mustang is inherently nose-heavy, the suspension (including on the GT) is more set-up for straight-line performance, even though their handling is decent in its class and depending on engine option, they can be overwhelmingly powerful! I'm talking about Ford Mustangs before the S550. The only Mustangs that have had handling chops are: 1993 SVT Cobra, 1995 SVT Cobra R, 1999, 2001 SVT Cobra, 2000 SVT Cobra R, 2003, 2004 Terminator Cobra, 2003, 2004 MACH 1, 2012, 2014 BOSS 302 and BOSS 302 Laguna Seca and the 2006 Ford Shelby GT as well as the 2008 GT500KR. Lastly there are aftermarket companies making Mustangs handle very well as well as go in a straight line, too like Roush, Steeda, American Muscle, Saleen, Shelby American, RTR, Late Model Restoration, Ford Performance, and so much more!!! You see, when in more responsible and knowledgeable hands, the Ford Mustang is NOT a dangerous car after all!

Had to do a few saves myself while I owned it for a few years. Always in the wet and esp. in snow / ice. On the other hand it could change direction really quick. I once had to avoid a car really quickly at 70mph, I steered rapidly and the car pulled it off, the rear wheels skidding out a little actually assisted the rapid turn. Times I had trouble was in the wet under heavy braking or acceleration, it could snap out. Had to catch it really quick once or die. My own fault I pushed it way too hard in the wet late at night. Also once I lost it in a corner but caught it positioned the angle and waited for it to grip again. Then drove off. That was fun and a thrill to pull it off. I'm older and wiser now though.

    That Cerbera would've been an insane supercar right now 22 yrs later. Way ahead of its time...

    By the way, the handling qualities of the Mister 2 are what made the damn car popular. Vehicle sales declined when Toyota tamed them and basically made it a two seater Camry.

    When the boss of TVR turns round and proclaims his car to be too scary, you know it’s dangerous.

    I not only drove, but raced a '61 Corvair Monza. Its handling was fine, but it did require the driver to stay on top of things. In the wet, however, you had to take it easy. With decent tires and the correct tire pressure it could be made to change direction incredibly quickly. It was very unforgiving, though.
    For racing, limit straps were required for the swing axles. I had a blower engine which I never got to put in the car, but that would have put out 180 hp! The four carb Monza was a very healthy 140, though.

    The corvair IS cool looking, though. I would fit it with a liquid coolant system, as it DID have overheating problems in city traffic.

    The Ford Mustang is also considered dangerous because they sold the cheaper versions without safety equipment...You had to buy the upmarket version if you wanted the safety stuff, and the competition had it as standard. That's also why.
    I think you forgot to put in the Ford Capri V6. The 4-pot Capri is nice handling, however, due to the more power and torque the V6 can be lethal to unexperienced drivers. This is also because of the weight in the front of the V6. They can have snap oversteer... I have driven both models, and yes the V6 can be a handfull especially if you do not watch out in the wet.
