Why did that happen? I have Pilot Super sports 275/35 on the rears and I was going in a straight line under WOT, then around the 4000RPM mark it almost felt like someone grabbed my steering wheel and threw it to the right and then to the left!! There was no gradual loss of control sliding etc, it just happend so suddenly out of nowhere.

Anyone else experience this before?

I appreciate you posting your experience with the TT. I'm in the same boat. Have had my TT for about 6 months and have been cautiously using the power (it scares the hell out of me!). In fact I haven't used Map 2 yet (full boost @ 9psi).

I take a little exception to some of the comments that have been made in a somewhat condescending way. Everyone is a beginner at some point in time.

You are fortunate nothing serious came of it and because of you sharing your experience, it'll make me a little more cautious. I too have felt the rear end want to break loose in third gear and also have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Fast Intentions did warn me about the tires. They are a great tire, but apparently not for the boosted.

Enjoy your ride!


Cheers
