To Hal:
" looked over my shoulder to see about my merging, and my SPF abruptly went hard right then left, and only by reflexes and good fortune, was i able to correct it, and complete my merge. I was at most 3/4 throttle, with concrete light poles just to my right.
I asked the Olthoff's, why my car would do that, when i never have had any incident of other than straight line accleration even with full throttle."
....Been there done that with the Porsche. I was guity of talking with my hands under modest acceleration........I would be a buck to a bagle that when you "looked over your shoulder"........your hands followed resulting in a loss of traction ..... I only mention this cause I think its one of the most important things we can do to be safe........if your eyes are not on the road ahead of you, its tough to know where your hands are gonna be.........and a Cobra under acceleration is gonna be very quick to follow...........
