Ive done them offroad a million times in my 4x4, but this was my first onroad one. I was amazed at how easy it was to do... it did exactly what I wanted it to. Went in smooth, spun around smooth, and came out smooth.
I have also discovered the art of fishtailing...
please be careful. fishtailing really is an art. i cant tell you how many times i almost got really hurt/killed from being young and dumb and fishtailing all over the place. take it a little at a time. learn the characteristics of your car. learn the limits. also check out the book Going Faster by Skip Barber. its a book on performance driving and racing, but it was the most useful book ive ever read about driving. how to control your vehicle and how to control slides. just be very careful, especially when practicing on the street.BurningRubber said:I have also discovered the art of fishtailing...

I dont plan on driving it hard all the time, but I will probaly give it some hell occasionaly.
How hard do you guys drive yours..? And how hard is to hard for one of these cars? The 4.6 seems like it begs to be revved up.
