Learned a lesson - driving in rain.

^LOL. I have a MY00. Never experienced "snap oversteer" in my 10+ years of ownership. Its all BS. The car wants to swap ends when you drive it that way.
AP2's are definitely easier to drive. But either one is predictable if you're aware of what you're doing.
But now we're becoming totally unhinged from the original topic.
OP admitted he made a mistake in his first post. I respect that.

There's no debate as far as I'm concerned. The thread was going the direction of advising people on what to do and what not to do.
The problem is that there is a clearly an outlook that the car is "downright dangerous", and some advice was given to just not drive it in the rain.
People make fundemental mistakes with this VERY characteristic RWD sports car. The problem isn't the car. The car is just doing what the operator asked it to do. This one just takes operator commands relatively literally and immediately.
Again, none of my commentary about that topic was aimed at the OP.

You have a MY00 and never spun it? Great! You're either up on all the steady-state things I mentioned (tires/tread/etc.) [as you should be], haven't driven in adverse conditions enough (standing water, debris, oil), or haven't done all of the above driving fast enough [too fast for the conditions, as some would say]. Good for you bud!

:facepalm: snap oversteer.
It doesn't just happen out of nowhere. That's my point. You didn't even read what I said.
The car starts swapping ends because of something the driver did. If you don't know what you did, your goal should be to figure it out. Not pawn it off on "I had a early model car. it "snap oversteered". I need one with VSA. Then I can continue to drive like an oaf".
