I feel pretty confident messing around and showing off in a powerful RWD car with a manual gearbox but I wouldn't behave in the same way with an auto/DCT though.
In fact its as easy and just as safe in a DCT car....plus if the back starts to slide you have the option to upshift, as you have no break in applied power the reduction in torque will bring the rear smoothly back into line combined with a slight easing of the throttle if required.cerb4.5lee said:
