A light rain allows power oversteer

With a light drizzle today, I pulled out onto a open sidestreet in first and for the first time got power oversteer. Shifting to second, the car straightened right up, but be careful for these cars will let the *** end loose (fun, but not smart on public roads) in wet conditions. I love my car!!!

Not really grod, although I have only 1250 miles, this was my first time in the wet to gun it around a corner in first. I have done 2nd and 3rd gear in the rain w/out much problem, but first is exciting.

A few mods and you can do it on dry pavement as well.

Judicious use of the e-brake and a heavy right foot will get you there, too.

Use of the ebrake is a good way to break things and kill your car
