Boo

darn, spun out for the 1st time today... at only like 20 mph -.-, had DSC turned off cause i was trying to whip a U-turn fast to catch a light (oh wellz, there was only me.. again)

i gota say, i need more seat time in a parking lot or something.. having drove 2 FWD before and was pushing them like crazy.. not used to RWD yet.. the throttle control on the exit is just different o.O... (time to get it in my head.. full thorttle once the car is straight in FWD does not apply in RWD )


oh wellz, close call for the day, enjoy

AHHH!! you scared me!!

I find it easier to make u-turns with the 8 than fwd cars. Especially when the DSC is turned off. Cut wheel and gas hard

what was funny was i had made the turn, then i gas hard, and i guess my weight was still shifted so when i lost traction when i gassed hard, the car continue to spin around -.-

hehe, ya, i've been known to be pretty damn lucky though i think i was overestimating the U turn, it was more like 12 mph or so.
