Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ford GT

[Brian E. Buxton (buxtonmotorsports]

I get that, but it's damn near impossible to get the back end to come around on an AWD vehicle on dry pavement.  I've driven a lot of all sorts of AWD vehicles - turbo ... non-turbo ... V6 ... V8 ... V12 ... V10 etc.  I guess maybe accelerating hard then suddenly getting on the brake hard.  I did have a Murci get squirrely on me once after accelerating hard and having a car pull out in front of me necessitating hard braking and a lane change.

Easy, they have no idea how to actually drive. Foot goes to the floor and the brain is stuck trying to play catch up.  Likely none of them have had any real instruction since they took driver’s ed in high school with the football coach.

I don't even have any idea how some of these wrecks happen.  Esp the cars leaving stoplights or turning.  Gallardo and Murci's are AWD.

Plenty of manual transmission cars in this little clip.
