Holy Cow!
So last night I was given a little reality check. I was in a private parking lot and decided to do a little fish tale. I have done many in my life, but only straight shots in the Vette.
I try it out and what seemed like instantly my car was facing the opposite direction, and the wonderful smell of rubber was all around. Even though part of me thought it was cool, most of me was kind of scared at the power that I have not yet given proper respect for.

Fishtailing it around turns and onto highways is even more fun
