I took some time to do that, trust me, if I hadn't, I would have probably already been halfway inside the Dominos' Pizza on the main strip, tellin them I called in a order for two large pies with extra cheese, as I sit in the car and pretend like nothing happened!!!!!
might just have to go and do that

Everybody else was amazed what my lude can do.

you cant compare a FWD and a RWD car, understeer is what most FWD cars have that makes it hard to oversteer, which is what you did in the G.
Its all about the driver and learning to drive your car. Bottom line with a good driver the G will handle better than a lude.

The bottom line is that you are a rwd n00b who pushed the limits and was bit in the *** by inexperience.

There is a kid like you on VW forums, he drives a 2.0L 4 cyl jetta .. he also says " your cars mean ****. In canyons I own ya all "
you two should meet
If your honda is so great why are you here? Where is the logic?
Go get yourself a honda ... and be happy with it.

RWD is harder to control.. especially for the the novice.. for a pro, RWD will out handle FWD easily.

I had a 350z before my G, and spun in out in wet weather going about 30 mph, I considered myself to be a very good driver, I really learned from it and now am also wayyyy more careful, I drive the G very hard and have yet to loose it.... be careful and learn from you mistake.

When I first got my G I thought the tail felt a little loose at times if I tried to accelerate while still finishing my turn. It was my first rear-wheel drive car. Then I added new wheels/tires and lowered it. Now it rides on rails.
