Not to defend the guy, but you do realize there are plenty of knocked over cones on courses to denote direction and "loading/parking" areas, right?

What has happened to this site.. everyone has turned into such hatters, i just made a comment on what happened to me, and all of a sudden im an idiot who cant drive? I just pulled out onto a main road from a parking lot, no one around and gave a little gas and the rear steped out a little.. if this had not happened to you then you bought the wrong car.. you deserve a mini van. sounds like someone got there panties in a wad.. thats sad i am saying this to modshack cause i HAD much respect for you..

Maybe just because I had an EVO you think im a zit face Boyracer like some of the other member think of evo owners.. but I didnt think that was you.. I'm a 30yr married with children small business owner. If I want to drive my car like a man i shouldnt be called an idiot..

soorry.. back on topic

Sorry if it offended, but the street is really no place to be getting sideways. It puts you and others at risk and is hardly an indication of your manhood. When I was on the corvette forum, guys were always doing this, always blaming the car, and sometimes causing sgnificant damage to their cars and innocent bystanders cars. I'm all about car control and smoothness.. If you're not, and the "nannies" are turned on, unexpected things can happen. Usually to save your butt but sometimes surprising enough to get you into more trouble by over-reacting to their attemps to get you back in control. Guys who see their VDC kicking in all the time are not really very good drivers. Too many drift videos out there I guess..and too many stunt drivers on this forum...Sorry I took i out on you.

Hopefully Lou will know what's going on in the morning..

GTRFAN · 08-09-2009, 09:40 PM

Hope the car is ok.

Is it Monday in the US yet? It's been Monday for hours here!

Not to go off-track too badly, but, part of having a car like this one is pushing your limits, and until you find and/or break a limit, you'll never know what those limits are in case you have to rely on them.

That said, the times I get "stupid" with mine, are country roads in areas I travel a lot and have visibility and clear traffic - ie, the only person in "danger' is myself.

And, I've discovered this car acts like the rear end is a giant ball bearing ONCE it breaks loose - it REALLY breaks loose. Going straight is all good, but doing it while turning this car (for a powerslide, for example) it will zip the ***-end around faster than anything I've ever owned.
