The key is to be ready. Aside from a proper vehicle setup and significant driving experience, anticipation is the ultimate weapon in your arsenal. If you are ready, you won't be surprised. If you get surprised, you weren't ready. Speaking from a single vehicle perspective (you can't anticipate stupid sometimes).

With this hp level sometimes being ready is not enough. You either get lucky or loose it. The best solution is to not get in that situation. I have put a couple in the ditch before.

Boy did I find that out. I had done dozens of third gear pulls and one time it breaks the tires loose at about 90 and immediately hooks left and goes into a spin before I could even react.

Did you have the factory VLSD diff? That is a common trait with that diff. It is horrible and can cause issues like this. If you don't
have a OS Giken or a Wavetrac in your newer car, get one quick.

It had a Quaife. The newer one has an OS Giken.
