While any S-curve will test the limits of your car\u2019s suspension if you\u2019re driving fast enough, the second apex at Adenauer Forst incorporates a downhill.  What does this mean?  At the very moment your right side suspension is fully weighted, the track falls away and unweights your suspension.  In other words, you go from a nice, sedate four wheel drift to sphincter-clenching snap oversteer (or understeer, depending on you car\u2019s balance) in about a millisecond.  Public roads are designed with driver safety in mind.  Racetracks, on the other hand, are designed to test the limits of a driver\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the jump to see how modern cars fare in the same section.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-41458\"><\/span><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tj-2PUUSYSg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tj-2PUUSYSg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>To give you an idea of how much better cars are today compared to 1970, check out this second video.
