Not only do you have less weight in the rear, all the power comes on at once. Torque? My Z makes my C2 feel like a S2000 running on 2 cylinders.
yeah man..no thanks! hahaha...like I said...lesson learned.

Ok confession time.
A long time ago I was driving a friend's corvette. I entered the I-10 freeway westbound at Francisquito ave. The ramp is short and has a very sharp turn. It was drizzling and when I punched it to get on the freeway, the car spun completely around and I ended up facing eastbound in the #4 lane.

Talk about almost having a heart attack! Fortunately there was no damage and I was able to drive down the shoulder to the ramp where I turned around and got back on the freeway.

P.S. Only sissies drive auto P-cars. Ask Alex (Sharkey).
I drive my manual in flip flops all the time and have never had a problem.

Confession:

I spun an E-Class benz across a center median and face first into oncoming traffic once....Thank god nothing happened, other than getting grass on the windshield.

Moral: Be ginger with the throttle in a rear wheel drive car, especially when turning and it's wet!

Hey Asian,
Vincent is selling his underpowered GT2, LOL. Time to get that special spin feeling again? Or you could consider a GT3 if enjoy that twitchy sensation.
Controlled and anticipated power drifts are fun. Anything more can be a little hand full.

Glad you (I mean the car) are ok. Getting gas at 10:30PM isn't always as safe as one might think.
