LOL...yea...240s are RWD. And I know how to drive, have had lots of exp. with RWD cars...but I just can't get used to this damn thing, just way too twitchy. I guess I can't floor this bitch like a 240 or miata. And may be that's why I love underpowered car so much.

Well...thanks for all your input, I believe the right thing to do is to hit up the track and get a better feel.
flooring mid corner = losing the rear every time

I don't believe fish "poop" or "pee". Like birds, they kinda do both at the same time - call it "poo-pee".
excellent. i love it.

Don't forget that if you have the oem S-02's and if they are old, worn, or under or over inflated and especially when cold.. they dont grip well. keep fresh tires on it. warm them up first , if you want to push it hard and be smooth. and you may find this car handles very nice.

I usually accelarate when coming up on a turn and the back off the throttle as I enter it; once I hit the apex I then start giving it gas. This technique seems to work effectively but what do I know...maybe I suck at driving

So normally you just coast into a turn, not on the brakes? Doesn't sound like you're pushing very hard
