you must have a base model without DSC or you had it off. The DSC would have kicked on before you could have come even close to a 360. Leave you DSC on in the rain

EDIT: Wow. With all the recent drama somehow this gets the kid gloves? A kinder, gentler 8 club, eh?

Yeah, take it easy in the rain. The stock tires have loads of grip on warm dry pavement, but on a wet road you need to be really careful. All cars have less traction on wet pavement, but the stock tires on the 8 seem particularly bad about it.

hmmmm..
i was planning to make a U turn in a traffic light section but i noticed that there's no sign saying you can make a U turn, but as a far as i knoe that you can still do it so i made a u-turn and it was raining..by the time i made a u-turn my 8 spin..360 i guess..i dont really knoe what happened to my 8 and i dont even remember if i hit the gas too much or is it just my 8 had a problem??
i almost crashed btw..my friend droving 350z saw me and it was hella scary..
and now everytime im make a left/right turn..doubts in my head about what happened to me

I had my 8 for a week and slid off a wet road, cost about $600 to get everything right again. I still have a teeeeny bit of that fear of wet corners. After having the car for five months now and having a feel for it and some more info, my best theory is (1) noob driver took it a little too fast, not knowing the 8's reputation on wet roads; but a definite (2) I swear there had to be something slick on the road because the weird way I slid kinda fishtaily, feeling like black ice... it makes me crazy trying to figure it out, but I'm definitely doing the practice runs and a road course as soon as my Blizzaks come off. The next time I slide, I want it to be on purpose.
