It'll kick out more easily, I think because of the power/weight ratio, but it'll hook back up again more quickly too... takes some getting used to.

Be carefull out there on city streets... nothing sucks like drifting into a curb or a parked car. Asphalt can be hard to predict... just a little oil on the ground mixed with water can REALLY change your amount of grip.

So be carefull...

...but enjoy!

just goto a school parking lot. one that's newly paved. the road is perfect for kicking out rear ends and doing 180's or 360's or whatever you want to do. plus at night, nobody's there. no chance of accident.

not the way streets are paved with all that extra gravel they throw on. Paved as in like fresh black smoothness.

If it is extra grippy, the rain definitely cancelled it because it barely took anything for me to break loose
