Rain Driving Fun
 
Every once in a while a nice spot presents itself where there's a nice wide stretch of pavement with no other cars or people in the area. One of those spots presented itself to me yesterday so I figured I'd practice my sliding. Haven't had mutch of an opportunity to get the feel of the vehicle so I found the opportunity irresistable. Made the U-turn gave it some gas and yanked the steering wheel. Got it in a nice pitch and wanted to see how long I could keep it there. When it started coming back I gave the gas pedal a little nudge and the response was a little more than I was expecting. It pitched even harder, a little more than I wanted. Didn't have this issue with my old posi-traction corvette. I'm guessing the VLSD kicked in and started the second wheel spinning. Anyone know for sure?

i think practice will smooth it out. :)

the throttle input on this car is weird.. with the latency and all.

I've determined my gas pedal has four distinct levels:
Level 1: Feathering level
Level 2: Old person acceleration level
Level 3: Sporty fun acceleration level
Level 4: Everything she's got

Funny how an electronic throttle has less progression than a cable throttle.
