when driving know ur car limit and stop all the imaginary thinking you bought the best deal can fight with those better car even self-modded think can fight the engineer who designed the car.
Actually. any newer cars on the road grips better and handles better than a regular owner will ever know. A stock car will have handling characteristics to allow drivers to more easily control the car already built in (milder, softer suspension geometry, VSA/etc).
Then abeng driver go and modify this modify that, stiffen everything up and then find out the hard way when suddenly the drop off is so sharp and you discover you don't have the reflexes to control a "sharp" handling car.
I used to run rings at a track around modded cars with my rolly polly stock suspension car with cheap tyres, because with that much warning, I can drive at 100% at all time. If i go over, I can always recover, compared to modded cars that just goes into snap oversteer if it runs over a pebble.
The other problem is the driver tends to put in the wrong inputs and causes the cars to go into something stupid. Mostly too much speed. 2nd, panic brake at the hint of oversteer....
That said, expansion strips and rumble strips on highway corners is a really stupid implementation. Rumble strips should be before the corner to let the drivers slow down BEFORE the corner. Combination of corner lateral force, instability of the rumble strips and the driver either braking or lifting off in the middle of a corner is asking for disaster.
