A4Q crosswind sensitivity (was wind noise)



I initially wondered about that and other drift-related items, but I've
since decided that the actual problem is that they reduced torque steer too
effectively.  The car doesn't stay centered very strongly.  This means it
takes little effort to tell it where to go, but it also means that it takes
constant vigilence to make sure you're telling it correctly.
