Hey guys and gals, I was driving pretty fast tonight and took a 90 degree turn pretty fast. My rear end slid out quite a bit, but I was able to bring it back around. My question is, what is the best thing to do in terms of throttle, brakes, steering, to get out of this situation before I go into a full spin? Thanks, by the way, took a camaro a couple nights ago who wasnt too happy. It was heaven.

Slow down around the corner buddy!!!Rule of thumb: slow in, fast out. How fast were you going? Was it in Roseville?

Hmm, I think I was going like 30-40 in a 15 zone. It was in Rocklin. And, I never go slow. That would be boring.
