i have a CZT, is not good when i'm riding at top speeds and have to brake strongly, it's unbalanced, it pushes to one handside and the other, aswell, but that's not it's fault, in turns at high speeds i have to brake in straights, but i think that's his weight. what i'm trying to say is, don't get to enthusiastic on high speeds unless you have lots of room, you may not be able to stop it... I'm starting to think in safety before i tuneit up even more(already 185bhp)

Hello

I don't have a CZT, but my Diesel Colt does go quite fast ... and I've noticed the same thing as you ... braking harshly while trying to manouver the car makes it almost snake from left to right. Noticed it one time when overtaking a grandad in front, but as I accellerated and pulled out, something in the opposite direction came, so I braked fairly hard and pulled back in, which wasn't really any sweat, until the car did its own thing and wiggled about until I let off the brakes ...

Also noticed it braking hard in straight lines ... seems to pull to one then the other side ...

Maybe I'm not used to driving a small tall car though ... could be its way of compensating cleverly for the extra instability in a fairly high car.
