Cars that will be kind to you if you drive like a knob
Discussion
This thread is intended as the antithesis to the other thread I started this evening entitle 'cars that will kind you if you drive like a knob in them'.
In this thread I want to hear about cars that respond kindly to poor or over-eager driving. This 'response' could be anything from a progressive handling balance to a chassis that somehow always seems to pull itself out of trouble.
I don't just want a list of cars, I want YOUR experiences in them.

Most modern cars with a decent ESP set up.
My E39 BMW is extremley hard to unsettle with big brother on, you can hack at the steering & use full throttle on a greasy bend, and it will quickly sort out the horrible mess of far too much steering angle & power, coupled with deliberate weight shift to destabilise the car, amazingly quickly to drag you straight again.
I'm so confident in it I even let my mrs drive it! Such a good system really, you would really have to be a total knob to throw it off the road.

That is the point that the OP is missing.Even with all the gadgetry in the GT-R this person still managed to do it. You simply cannot defy the laws of physics so why try?
No car will be kind to you if you drive like a knob!

I see what you're saying but this is a car with 500bhp and is known to be spiky in the wet so not a great example IMO. Who knows if the bloke had the systems on or not.No car will be kind to you if you drive like a knob!

Lol approaching that hill at that speed, quality! That is my own worst nightmare, being on the gas and seeing something that you know you have no way of stopping for especially considering if he had not been in the air he could well have stopped in time!
