My wife hates it too. Especially the 4 wheels spinning when I lay on the H2's pedal

A little fishtale fun
Pulled out of a shopping center parking lot a little fast today. The 4.10's and cam really showed their stuff and the rearend moved over about four feet as I entered the lane and shifted to second. She came back around and hooked up like a rocket ship. Not that this anything new, but this is the first time with my wife in the car. She just about peed her pants. She was grabbing for anything she could hold on to and yelled, "Why did you do that?" and I replied, "Because I can". Man, I love this car

be very carefull doing that, especially in comp mode, the car will try to correct it based on where the front wheels pointing at and the end result is something like this

I purposely threw the *** out last night on normal 90 degree right hand turn at an intersection. I wasn't going very fast, but just gave it enough throttle and enough steering wheel to make sure. The car started oversteering like a champ, and just when you think it's time to correct this, the AH kicks in and puts the car straight again like God put his hand down on top of the car and turned it the right way.
AH is pretty amazing. I am guessing in both these videos, AH was off.
In comp mode it does give a little more room to play, but it still kicks in well in advance of the "oh crap" stage.
I have got another track day coming up. Last time I was too scared to try driving it without AH on, but I think I'll try it this time. The track is in the middle of the desert and even if you spin off, you aren't really going to hurt anything. During the beginner runs, everyone keeps a pretty safe distance from each other too since you aren't allowed to pass except on the straight.

Both those cars had everything off, thinking they can control it better than an advanced computer. TC sucks AH rules. Don't learn the hard way.

And they were not even going that fast... No one should drive a sports car without learning how to drive one; unfortunately there's a lot of stupidity in this world. And they were lucky not hurting others.
