But from your responses I assume it’s nothing worth understanding in any case.Trent.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well from what I have gathered from his so called "posts" he is saying thatv C.S.I was trying to show off and be silly or something. Which wasnt the case this sort of thing can happen to anyone, EXCEPT AMoffet of course.

There is no going back from mistakes. 189 kgs and 122 kws put through a couple of inches of Bridgestones makes you pay attention...f*ckin' getting amongst 240 plus in the wet is stupid. My insurance premium will thank you,,,,,f*ckin' not<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Same here. 180hp (134kw) and 170kg. To be honest, it makes driving a T in the wet seem kind of tame. Pretty much any gear at any speed, you can lose it....and that's in the dry Everyone take it easy. Especially in rain after a dry spell. And dont accelerate hard unless you are going very slow (for fun), or aimed straight! Things like merging and other non-straight driving arent good times to give it the beans when its wet. Best to wait that extra 2 seconds until the merge is done and you are aiming dead straight, then accelerate harder. Even a slight off-straight attitude makes a whole lot of difference to the physics at play as you are effectively starting to spin like a top or a pendulum when you are not going straight...slowly at first but if you are unlucky, it can become a whole lot faster!
