Thanks guys!!
Im taking her slow now.
After tooling around for about an hour I started getting too "comfortable" while getting on an on ramp. I didn't floor it but I was being aggressive and almost lost it. The rear was coming around and I guess the traction control saved it but I was needing a clean pair of shorts after that...
My grin was gone....but only for a moment!!
Heres a potentially stupid question, is it normal to be scary loud in the car when in passing gear? No I'm not a wussy but it's rather shocking how loud that is. I have nothing to compare it to so I don't know if that's just what it is.
The car sounds angry when I do that so it must be ok!!
