Good to hear First time I experienced oversteer was a few days ago on my way to work, I gunned it around a fast corner right before the office in the rain and the back went out a bit, VDC didn't help...only time I've unintentionally done that. The Conti DWSs have given me too much confidence in the rain.

if one cannot control a drift while accelerating from standstill and turning, then one has no business with a rwd sports car.

It's like the tweens in Civics and stuff that get killed in high school because they think their car can easily take a 35 mph corner at 75... plow straight off into a tree and die. Here, it's dumb kids trying to "drift, yo." Oops... off into the curb/forest/wall they go. Oh, look, I just got a vehicle risk adjustment on my insurance bill!

Just add more front wing and dial in some negative camber.
(says the guy running NO front wing on his FF LOL!)

Which is why we are all supposed to drive DEFENSIVELY instead of offensively. There are lots of hazards out there.
