Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Don, looks great!!!

Is that a "SPRINT CAR?" I bet you've been asked that one by the neighbors.

The neighbors gotta love you now with no side pipes...

Congrats,

James

Great Job

Hey! It's kinda funny that the nic-name for your car is the same nic-name I have for my x-wife. What's even funnier is that it is for the same reason!
OK, comedy aside your build is looking good and the mods you've got on 'er sound fantastic. I look forward to seeing the completed project! Keep up the great work and congrats.
