Whining about the 4C's Steering says more about YOU than the CAR

The professional has spoken. There's nothing wrong with the 4C's factory handling. Josh and I had a great conversation about alignments, wheel and tire selection, mid-engine handling characteristics, and more!

Glad to see nobody was called a pansy on this video. Funny how the track of the rear is smaller than the front.

8:00 correct... I called them wussies instead 😆

This is so weird! Why do you think the track width are set this way?

Great discussion regarding the 4C's factory caster setup -- I have the Alfaworks Intermediate suspension blocks and it definitely helped with the tramlining and stability of the car at the cost of heavier steering feel. Pair the blocks with a good alignment (I'm -1° camber, 4.5° caster, 0 toe in the front) and you'll have a sensational handling 4C that these "reviewers" shouldn't complain about. ;) P.S. If you are driving near the 4C's limit, the stock rear A-arm bushings will flex causing rear steer, you can address this with A-arm uniballs to restore corner confidence.

Manual rack in a light sports car is the way to go. My old 914gt was like that and i loved it.

I will say that when I got my alignment first done... about a year after getting the car. found out that none of the wheels had the same alignment. it was like night and day just getting the alignments normalized.

wow! You bought it new? That must have been a dealership screw-up.

It happens to more new cars than we think Porsches included. It sometimes when strapped in the trailers in their way to the dealership….

Good stuff. When do you guys wanna do the comparison video on my Exige? 😂😂👍🏻 Of course it is not stock. And I haven't touched the alignment since I got it. Previous owner used to track this car. It's got tons of negative camber in it, but drives very well. 🤷🏻‍♂️🧐😉
