Yeah, the stuff you can get away with in a fwd economy car will throw you off the road backwards in a rwd sports car. Test it out with vdc on and off just to get a feel for it. Please note I said test, not drift. I wouldn't suggest driving around with vdc off yet, just get an idea of the different physics of rwd. An autox wouldn't be a bad idea just to find your limits and the cars limits.

I haven't messed with the vdc button because I don't know what it does. I don't plan to drift in this car, just not for me.

I wasn't seriously talking about drifting, I just meant don't get too carried away. Vdc off will give you a better feel for what happens when you screw up, provided you test it in a deserted obstacle free controlled environment.

Congrats & welcome!

The auto is fine! 6MT is fun, but at times I wish I did have the auto and paddles.

Halion · 06-14-2013, 12:25 PM

Gotcha! I'll test it out soon enough!

Welcome and Congrats!
That's an awesome (and rare) color you got there

Congrats and Welcome! Dont see very many yellows in this area. Actually I can only remember seeing one. If I catch you around town I will be sure to wave. Also check out the Tampa thread for local meets/greets.
