I cant imagine what it is like to drive with a stability management system.
In my car I am the stability management system.
Seriously though I think if he had encountered the outstanding instruction we have in our DE program he would have started from the beginning learning to be smooth.
Another point I got from the thread is that when you switch rides, no matter how much experience you have, you need to back down and learn how that car responds to inputs before you notch it up to your usual track speed. (I think this guy was a fairly expereinced track driver in the ZO6 but he had to back it down to 40%.) I have even experienced strange behavior from modifications to the car I was used to. Any time you change something on the car or go to a different car you need to step it down. If you dont you will stuff it into something.
