That is true, it takes less effort to drive one fast than it would a fwd but thats the beauty of it, my car will never do what its capapble of with me driving it I admit that, I think the best thing anyone could do is take a police pursuit type driving course like a few lads in the WYIOC have, learn a bit of aggressive handling and going into corners at 3 figure speeds but learning how to do it safely and responsibly, just how responsible taking a corner at over 100mph is though is anyones guess...
try over the mountain TT track in the IOM. Once you are outside the towns into national spped limit areas there are no speed limits. having oncoming traffic coming at you one way with a large drop off the mountain on the otherside is very refreshing. the back end of your car stepping out at 130+ mid corner, is shall we say, an interesting experience, one i am sure 99% of drivers will never experience in thier driving carreers. knowing what to do in that position is probably why most high spped crashes occur. your brain says brake, slow down, when you should be planting the throttle and driving through the corner. like i said before you nearly need to "unlearn" what you know about fast driving. anyone can drive fast. but being fast and competent are not mutually exclusive.
