thanks for the resposes guys! i do feel better knowing that its nothing "wrong" with the car. first time i felt it, i thought, oh sh$t, my diff's goin out. insert sigh of relief here_____!

i do know that lifting throttle in a turn is a no no in a rwd, but as i said, i have very little experience with rwd, been driving front drive honda's for most of my life.

i guess this is something that ill just have to get used to, and learn to drive around it for a while untill i can drive the car with more confidence.

thanks for all the help guys!

Good luck!

Hopefully, you'll be on the track one day!

just take some time to get used to your car first. it seems to take eveyrone a bit longer to really 'learn' this car more than your everyday civic.

after you've relaly become accustomed to what you are capable of in your car THEN hit up a school, and push your limits safely with an instructor!

you need to learn how to drive rwd, especially one with 50/50 weight distribution...

throttle lift during a corner is generally something you don't want to do in this car...
