The very mild mannered 5.0 in my Excalibur still managed to take me by surprise more than once. It's very difficult to guess-ta-mate the actual traction available on any given road surface at any given time. Get it wrong and the car WILL spin around on you. In a few months I was bored with the lowly stock 5.0. BUT, in many ways I was LUCKY to have survived the first few months at the same time!

These light cars can be a handful, and "lifting" does NOT stop the spin out! That in some cases is what CAUSED the spin out!
