"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

yeah but pirate, the 600 is for the supscription per year, but the time it save me its worth its weight in gold, for example i phoned the motor factors the other day and asked them for oil for my 406 and they sent me 10w40 but its suppost to have 5w40.
