And I find her highly predictable in a sideways slide.. use to love the turn off Route 66 to my rural trail home.. could throw her in the left turn about 50mph and 4 wheel slide her sideways and feel totally in control "knowing" where she was going. And my wife just "loved it" when I slowed to 30 on that trail home and did a parking brake 180.. LOL. Hey she wanted to turn around and go to the garage sale..
The Crossfire I haven't done much with in that respect.. she just seems to "tail" happy (ABS/ESP disabled)..

UPDATE - I had prepared to race the cars on New Year's Day . . . I had walkie talkies for everyone, had the section of secluded roadway chosen, had a volunteer roadway spotter and starter for both ends of a 1-1/2 mile section of roadway that allowed no opportunity for any traffic to enter the roadway, had cones to mark off a 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile distance from both south end start and the north end (return) start (we were going to do a best two out of three runs . . . run up, run back and if a third run was needed run up again). Then I find that she had to work on New Year's Day. Race will be reschedued. I will have some video to post when we make the runs . . . Nothing fancy . . . just a visual documentation.

Holy crap, you're not messing around. Thats better prep than I see at a lot of local dragstrips.
