E-throttle, Vsc, Fwd, Hesitation

[wwest]

It might very well be the VSC helping to "stabilize" the vehicle. Suddenly increasing the engine torque output while simultaneously turning the steering wheel off-center would potentially "upset" a FWD vehicle, or any vehicle for that matter.

But on a FWD you are increasing the lateral stress on the front tires at the same time as the longitutnal stress, were the traction surface only slight slippery.....

I can readily envision an engineer/programmer thinking " gee, what a neat idea".
