nothing happend! Sure I could spin the tires tru a couple gears, and experienced some adverse yaw from the LSD. The car stopped perfectly straight and handled predictably. This was on 18K mile oem tires. Half the time I'm driving in the rain and I find that the car gets great traction. I only loose traction and get sideways WHEN I MAKE IT DO SO.

I'm getting a little tired of reading how unpredictable our car is in wet or cold. Learn to drive!

Hey Hootama where did you get that pic? Looks really nice! Like a S2000, NSX and Modena mix.
