It frightens me to think of what I might do in a vehicle with 3-4 times the TQ and HP.
I owned a Datsun 2000 as a youngster. I can tell you that it was much harder to drive safely than my Cobra. BTW, I, too, spun my Datsun out because of TTO. It came on much quicker, and was harder to anticpate, than my Cobra. You simply could not brake in the corners with that car.
