Seriously; minispools in the wet are dangerous.

Only 165kw and half-throttle at any speed in the wet causes your arse to try and overtake your front-end (always on the left side if you are going dead straight), so you back off; straighten out; reapply throttle; which then causes your arse to try and overtake the front but on the other side!

I'm learning though! With the right throttle modulation (quite difficult with the 4200RPM hi-stall) I can now accelerate from 0-60 in the wet while keeping the car at an angle of about 20degrees to the direction of travel; and like a typical Commodore, she always steps her arse out to the left. Thankfully the brakes are 9/10ths of useless.

Haha a little further south mate.
Fron memory 165kw would be 220hp; but google would tell you that
