Had a scary moment in the 3200 yesterday evening, had in sports mode and managed to lose the backend for a few seconds was a mild night so thought it shouldn't be a problem, figured out the reason for this was excessive salting of the road.. but learnt my lesson.. sport mode not for rainy days and gritted roads

safe driving.

I can verify that today a nice sunny morning, when applying ludicrous amounts of right foot off a roundabout, the 4200s do pretty much the same thing. (did it on the m3 in a straight line a couple of weeks ago as well !)

Ah yes, that "teflon tyre" moment. You don't need a lot of welly and the back won't drift "out" but will snap in the opposite direction. If you're lucky (like me) it'll only annoy other drivers around you but if you're not... it's going to get expensive.

Following Johnnyboy in his 4200 the other week on a Sunday hoon, he had a bit of tail out action on a straight uphill section, althought it was a touch greasy unfoot. Seems to be the nature of the beast
