«The technique that worked best for me was to drive to and through the understeer limit,» Sherman recalls, «then back off
slightly to let the front rubber secure a
tight grip in the first half of the bend.
In addition to its
slightly improved looks, the 1998 Grand Marquis comes with an improved suspension system to give the car a somewhat
tighter ride; larger front brakes to help improve stopping power; bigger tires (16 - inch radials) to provide better
grip in corners and sharp turns; a smoother, electronically controlled, four - speed automatic transmission; and a more rigid body to help reduce shakes and rattles.
