    I feel so good about myself now.

    You KNOW you have a good car when you can stave it of fuel through a curve :)

    I was taking a highway off ramp, suggested speed 25mph, I hit it at 55mph. Two thrids of the way through the engine starts sputtering on me. I was really pissed off because I thought something broke. Look at my gas gauge and its on empty.. wtf? Exit the curve and it goes back up to 1/4 tank haha.

    Thinking about it, it was a right curve so all the fuel must of sloshed to the driver side starving the prepump on the passenger side.

        VW rabbits starve when going through a sharp corner. Their chassis also flexes so much as to open the doors mid corner. Good car?

              fuel starvation happens often, at round half a tank at a track i go to. im only on street tires...surely if it was a good car it wouldn't starve itself of fuel?

                    My cherokee does this, so does my dads GMC truck. It must be the mad handling capabilities, only possible explanation.

                      I only get the mad play in the fuel gauge itself, on cloverleaf on ramps to the right, goes down a 1/4 tank, then ones to the left I get my gas back to normal, fun though.

                          You should have drifted it.
