So this TT only happens when going into a corner near (or maybe over) the limit of you and the car, you are braking and do your down-shift and voila! your back tires break loose and you spin out before hitting the gas as you would coming out of the corner. Doesn't sound like you can get TT if in neutral or with the clutch in? I'm still getting use to 13.5" wide rear tires with 512 HP! Thanks again!
WardL, what tires would those be?

Cheers, John AKA, tin-man
