Gentleman, if I may add a little to this post, about what to do, and when to do it, in a emergency situation. I have raced since I was 15 1/2, Road racing, Pro-Rallye, and I'm a two-time national Champion in Autocrossing (In Auto-X, SMOOTH is FAST). I'm now 63yo, and learned a couple thing's that got me to this age safely. NEVER, NEVER, do anything quickly, that only adds to your car's 'confusion', loading and unloading the suspension, wheel correction (Yes, always steer into the skid), braking (Never lock up the brakes, You will lose your steering ability). Any time you change something quickly, like your minds, it confuses you, or you make mistakes, well your doing the same thing to your car. Trust me boy's in these incident's you will have the time you need. Don't panic ! If this help's one of my Cobra Brother this post was worth it. If you need any other questions answered about this subject just Pm me, I'm here for you. Cheers Tom.
