Because Moose test.

True. But as with the 300C/W210/W221, its an "americanized" Mercedes as Jeremy Claskson put it. Even the 300C has roll like a mofo. I wonder what it feels like inside.

[Thizzelle]

your not suppose to swerve for animals, because either way your getting in an accident. So you might as well get dinner.

I can back that up the 300 can be downright scary if your trying to hustle it though corners at all it's a nice car but Im not sure it's the greatest car to be avoiding things in

Granted not Auto-X, but watching a current Cherokee SRT8 with most of the interior removed, MOPAR springs and 305 wide Michelins hustle around Hallett with sub 1:30 lap times was DAMN impressive.

This all the way OTHER THAN MOOSE. You dont want to whack a moose especially in a car your not getting dinner, the EMTs are fishing you outta the moose. You dodge that thing you dont take it like man with a moose. But I would sooner take my chances with the ditch or just clip it.

While centre of gravity has a big effect I think there is more to it then that. Watching the video as the guy turns right the rear wheel rebound fast real fast causing the car to lift onto to wheels. A good sway bar would be able to counter that effect.

Because the car is so heavey the springs have a high mm/kg ratio when the car transfers that weight those springs push back with an almighty force.

Well,I doubt seriously any of the soccer moms who buy one will be taking it through the slalom course...

Not the point of the test, what if you need to swerve if something abruptly jumps out in front of you or you hydroplane and try to correct it? You're in for a world of hurt because this car isn't stable in the least.

Moose = Canada.

Places there are moose are Canada. No matter what side of the border.

Nahhh its the 1200 lbs of not yet dead but really pissed off and injured big fucking moose that has come through the windshield and is now laying on your chest that bugs me

"Moose test" - I really thought this thread was going to be a new 2G1C kind of video....

Yep.
They can be real pissed off bastards. About thirty years back, my gramps and I were on a logging road up in central bc, when we had to stop for a moose that had stopped right in the middle of the road. We honked and made noises etc to get him to move, but that fucker just charged our truck head down and just royally fucked the front of our truck. Gramps shot the fucker right there!

Fucker got owned in the end, but we needed an expensive tow out the road.

Everyone already know I fuck with da Volvo d0ughe

[Xat1cZ]

not a big surprise that an American car has shitty/soft suspension


..I'd like to see a Toyota Hiace go thru' that tho'... would be entertaining.. the bikecycle helmet would come in handy I bet

[trackjunkie21]

Howbout we rename this the deer test? Since everyone swears that their are no Moose south of the border. It's the same principle, you go to swerve as to not damage your car or kill bambi.
