Lost control today!!!
Was pulling out of the development today and the guy across the street has a new camaro and was behind me. He got in the lane next to me and I heard him punch it so I did the same. My tires spun then hooked up and when it shifted into second gear the back end came around in a flash and I scraped against the center island with both the front and back tires. I was lucky as I didn't hurt the rims. The speed limit was 55 and I wasn't going but about 35-40 mph. My question is why didn't the computer control the loss of traction? I almost hit the camaro and now I am gun shy to punch it again.

He's a fellow CF Member and has been since 2007. IMHO he deserves a better response. It's never too late to learn. If you have some info that would help him please be forth coming. You might just help some of the rest of us too. Of course if you can't help.........
