Ah, yes... that will be a great place for you to get a good feel for everything! Pretty safe environment so 99% of spins will be harmless.

Indeed, but it's still going to be safer than losing it at an HPDE or something.

I turn it off every time I start up the car. I've had my Z since July, and you could count on one hand the number of times I've smoked the tires intentionally, so it's not like I drive around like an ***. I just don't enjoy the computer jumping in and assuming that I need help. To me, the way I learned to drive RWD sports cars, having it on is actually more dangerous. Robbing me of both power and control when I most need it.

Just remember to turn it back on when mom is taking your Z to the grocery store...

lol front bumper????????? who did the hit and run

I dont think this car is THAT easy to break loose. I have tried many times in under 5k rpms in 2nd gear and couldnt do it until I started modding the car. Once I get the FI LTH, which will be the last thing anyway, I am looking forward to some more low end tq, even now though I have tried many times in 3rd gear doing 65 and it wont do it.
