Um, we know how to drive and don't depend on VDC to keep the car on the road nor require a backup cam to park it safely?

Pretty tough to spin the wheels by accident in those cars. So if your experiences with RWD were with cars from that period, it might take some getting used to driving a modern performance RWD car.

Let's go back a few more years when there were real muscle cars with way more hp/tq and crappy suspension/tires. Can't spin em, eh? And then you'd drive them in the ice/snow because you couldn't afford a second car for the winter. My, how things change.
