I think most of us realize that even ASC cannot defy the laws of physics. Given the right situation, you will lose the rear end, even with ASC on.

: Hello all. I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks but I am a procrastinator. And lately, I've been a very busy procrastinator.

: If you're driving with the ASC system on, don't assume that you can't get power-on oversteer. It can and will happen. I accelerated hard around a left-hand turn at an intersection while it was raining. The ASC did kick in and cut the power but it was too late. The back end came around and kept coming around. I was waiting for it to come back around since power had been cut, but no dice. I then counter-steered and everything came out just fine, but it got my attention.

: From now on, I'm going to drive w/ ASC off, even in the rain. Why? Because I would rather be preparing for the worst at all times and keep on my toes. Just my 2 cents.

: And Zandr: You are too funny. Loved your last post.

: Later,
