,,,whoa,,,,I can barely "gun" my whimpy 5.0 WITH Autocross STICKY tires in the middle of a turn without fear of the back end breaking loose! In fact I JUST did that a couple of days ago and was instantly sorry!

I turned the corner in 2nd gear, half way through I "punched" it. There was a little sand on the road I HADN'T noticed and things got real scary real quick! This was right at Sunset Beach, North Shore. Point is it could have been ANYWHERE, a little water you didn't notice? A "funny" pavement patch? Someones oil? You gotta drive these things "heads up" ALL the time.
