it would probably help out a lot if you told us pertinent things such as how fast you were going, in what gear, type of road you were on, weather conditions, etc...

i did fishtail and it fishtailed BAD when i completely turned off DSC/TCS going about 30 mph in 2nd gear and making a 90 degree right turn...i was practicing heel-and-toeing and gave it too much gas after the turn...the backend whipped out and went back and forth 3 times before i gained control...i came a few feet from the curb

EDIT: also, i thought it'd be important to note that this is my first RWD car...i didn't think it would fishtail so easily but it did...i think i just have to get used to it
