I've a feeling after reading all of this that it really comes down to the quality of your tires. My Pilot Sports are pretty sticky and I have to be really trying pretty hard to get them to break loose in a big way. I'd wager that @MatthewMiller also has good quality tires. I know back when I bought my car it had some old Nexen tires on it and those would easily break loose.

I have several sets of tires for different purposes. Some have grip you can't believe until you ride in it. Some...not so much. My really old/low-grip tires are all in tire heaven now. But still, a C4 is just a car. In stock form, it's not even a very powerful one in today's context. So like any car, if you break the tires loose with power, you just have to modulate the throttle a little bit. The power oversteer behavior of these cars is much, much better than any Fox or SN95 Mustang - much easier to control and with higher breakaway limits.

Take Matt's advice; I had the chance to ride with Matt in an auto cross event at a nearby lot; he's a great driver with a great C4 package.

Having said that Matt, I would suppose many on the forum here do not have the seat time you have in these high level driving conditions with the type of power you have. It's a learning curve for some w/o ASR functions. And not all drivers are created equal, so one size doesn't fit all here!
