Just had the *** end kick out a bit this evening in 3rd gear. I go through a few roundabouts often. Usually I drop to second so if it happened then I wouldn't have been so surprised. However I was chatting with my daughter and just left it in 3rd. Coming out of the turn I obviously got on it a bit too much. The look on my daughters face was priceless though😄 Just a friendly reminder of how much torque these beasts truly have.

Yep, yep, they can kick out with very little effort. Honestly, this C7Z is an absolute pussycat compared to the occasional pucker events I experienced in my previous C6Z, especially with the original Goodyears. THAT car was a damn "adventure".
