speed:imagine your driving your car around a dirt road sweeping corner. The back end breaks loose and you start to counter steer. The back end is breaking loose and sliding out pretty fast but your stuck turning the steering wheel at a much slower rate than the swing of the back end. Your done, you aren't going to save it, it can't be saved, and you need quicker hands on the steering wheel to stay in control of the truck.

Torque:Your going through the same sweeper in your car. You've got super fast response and as the back end breaks loose you save it easy and continue accelerating through the corner. As you put more G-force on the front end by pushing through the corner your arms get weak on the steering wheel (powersteering is failing) and you slowly straighten out the wheels because you can't hold them turned. You end up swinging wide out of the corner and rub the guardrail all the way out of the turn.
