Default LS1 vs. SVT Lightning = Wreck!!!
Lightning vs. Trans Am
This took place last Friday, and it turns out that the Trans Am also has long tube headers.

Most of the time if you let off of EVERYTHING, the car gets unsquirrely, if there is a word. This sucks! Staying on the brakes usually ends up in a wreck.

I can't even tell what he did, it doesn't even look or sound like he got the car sliding to begin with. Just stats rapidly turning the wheel and braking for what seems like nothing. I'm always scared to get my car sideways, but everytime I do it, it feels natural to back off the gas and let it straighten out. Lots of fun, but still intimidating before you actually do it.
