Steer into it and hope for the best. Keep the throttle smooth (DON'T LIFT) and let the car do what it does best.

You'd be surprised how much grip the car has...

 

This car appreciates and rewards smooth inputs.

 

smooth will help keep th emost balance. slight accel helps, a medium load too, try not to mash the throttle or jerk the wheel (if not trying to regain control of your sliding car) because it will imbalance the vehicle. Remember balance is your best freind, nothing abrupt, just smooth. find a church parking lot or something to practice in to get a feel of how much love you can give your car, and you will see how much love it has to offer. it is shocking. you could even test braking while in a high G turn to see why it spins and try to get a feel for it and how to control it.(this is all at your own risk)

 

note to those who have never spun out :car is VERY loud when spinning out (more so than other cars ive seen) so be aware (atleast mine is)

 

[QUOTE=afwfjustin,Sep 20 2007, 01:50 AM]A bigger front sway bar makes the car MUCH more predictable.

 

Broke the rear end loose multiple times... sometimes for just a quick show slide around corners, and other times un-intentional.

First unintentional time, had and elderly lady nearly turn into my car, while she was driving next to me, as I was gettin ready to make a turn around a corner thats probably a 110 degree cut back, and I had to take the turn at the speed I was doing (40, which was the speed limit), or if I would have slowed down, she would have plowed her car right into the side of mine. Car made it nearly 3/4th the way around teh corner, and then at the end, the back end slid out, causing the car to spin 3-4 times, crossing three lanes of traffic, and coming to a stop in the turn lane for the opposite lane of traffic.

Second time, Came around a corner after a light rain, doing 10-15 mph, and popped the clutch out at the exit of the turn, and the back end slid around, causing the car to do basicly a u-turn... into a guard rail



Tire's are S02's, and not bad enough to be needing to be replaced, but I'm going to anyways, I heard Kuhmo's are AMAZING for wet driving, and stick really well.

 

Wow...too bad the guardrail wasn't lower, all you would have had was bumper damage. For 10-15 mph that is a ton of damage there. I find it amazing you even lost control of the car at such a low rate of speed. You sure you were doing 10-15 and not the posted 30mph I see in the reflection of the hood?

 

i noticed the sign too. nice shiny berlina

 

anticipate the movement, visualize the roadway, and floor it (with scene safety of course)...live a little!...gas level is not a concern...lol

 

I'm suprised no one corrected him about "loosing the rear end"

It is spelled "losing"

Theres a good saying..

"Lose is what happens when you race me"

"Loose is what your mother is after I'm done with her"



On topic -

I've had the rear end slide out a few times.. In the wet it is VERY unpredictable.. My 240 had a bit softer suspension so it was easier to hold and correct.. On the S, you need to be careful as it can just snap if it loses grip at the wrong time.. It does take some practice..
