Great story

So last Saturday I went to SEMA, on the way to my brothers house to pick him up This happened:

I'm driving over a large hill near me and it just started to rain...but only a little so it made the road a little more slick. So I hit the boost up this hill and charge right up it no problem. On my way back down I see a large buick something coming up quick matching my speed on turns making his car lean way over and barely hold on. Mind you I have no idea who this guy is or what he's doing. I didn't flash, beep at , nothing to anyone up the hill. So I take the next couple of turns a bit faster than normal and I see him contimue to keep up. Now the corners tighten up and I go around them like nothing and as I hit the last one I look in the rear view to see this guy fish tailing back and forth across the 2 lanes. He starts losing it big time and I'm laughing cause he made some really poor judgements.

Before I go around the next turn I see him shoot across all the lanes and end up on the side of the road in some grass.

He should not have been driving that fast. He couldn't hang with the MSP

I find the cornering ability of this car unreal.

hahaha.....I have a similar story....I was driving home about 5 weeks ago and it had started drizziling. The road was slightly wet but nothing to worry about. I pass an I-ROC Z who is waiting to turn onto the road behind me. When I go past he revs it up and so I push in my clutch and give him a taste. At this point he thinks it's on! He turns out behind me and guns it...rearend kicks out to the right and he corrects it and when he goes to shift into second (still trying to run up on me) he loses it! He's all over both lanes and ends up about 3' from a big sign. I laughed so hard...but then thought about what could've happened to him.......then I laughed some more.

I took my MSP out one night to a concert and on the way back my friend asked me why it had such a bumpy ride....so I showed him! I took a chicane off the interstate off-ramp at 80mph and slid the car sideways all the way down the ramp only to straighten it up at the stop light at the end. I sat their with a huge grin on my face....my friend? .....pee'd his pants....then the cloud of tire smoke slowly drifted down onto the car! It was awesome!

Yea you really do not need to slow down for the corners. I often think the suspension would benefit from stickier tires.
