what's a sppol like on the street
Peter:
hi guys,
can you teel me how the car reacts when a spool is installed?
is it really that dangerous? when raining? cornering? is it actually possible to corner with a spool?
thanks, Peter

First, I've never had a spool or, for that matter, driven a car with one. I DO have a spool story to tell though. It involves Allen Wiess and his 67 sedan... One Sunday, the two of us left my place in our cars headed for Nick's. I was leading...went around a right hander onto an up hill freeway on ramp...good place to get the back end of the car out, right? Allen sees me do this and trys it too...except he's got "The Spool"...I look in the rearview and I can see the whole left side of the car plus two WIDE-OPEN eye balls ;D! A spool will serve you well at the track...thats about it though
Roman:
It can be done, but don't use one until you really need one.
Some rules:
Don't ever drive it on wet asphalt. I tried to go in a roundabout in rain but when I got about halfway through then I was at the outer perimeter! I had to stop, put the reverse in and take one more try. This worked as it was almost no traffic, but if you are in rush hour it isn't possible.
If you are putting the pedal to the metal, be sure that:
1: You are heading straight before.
2: Your steering wheel is straight.
3: Both wheels have full traction. If it is something slippery like a sewer lid in steel your car will turn.
But if it is dry weather and you take it easy around corners it isn't that big difference to a super diff.
SOB/RFH:
It is easier to drive and the spool last longer if you avoid radial tires and go for soft wall slicks type of tires.......................parking a car with a spool is fun...to watch ;D
Diederick/DVK:
i'm trying to understand what a spool is here and what it does...
plus after all these bad things what is the freaking sense of getting a spool ???
