so if you had a viper srt 10 to drive year round, you'd just put snow tires and continue as usual?

you can easily recovery by braking less. try making that same move in a mid-engine car, and the rear end won't step back in line...hell, even in a properly balanced front midship design, you might have some trouble getting the rear end back in place
never driven a mid engine car, but i drove a few front midship cars and actually i felt they were very stable under braking. And braking less is not always an option on the street. What if a guy cuts you off? Or a bus unexpectedly pulls out of the bus bay? Or a pedestrian decides to jaywalk across the street right in front of you?
