Holy Sideways Batman!!!!!!!!!

Took the car for a blast this evening. I dunno what made me take off esp about 5 minutes after start up. I went full throttle at about 20 mph going straight and the freaking thing spun and went sideways on me. I was in a full counter steer for about 3 seconds. It caught me totally off guard. I have new respect for the car. Lol. I bow to the low end torque monster!

Sounds like your tires were still cold too, but even when warm I can get it sideways with 285s in the rear. I love it.
