That doesn't seem to upset mine when its cold, its just when you lay into it all hell is subject to break loose unexpectedly in 2nd or even 3rd depending on the pavement you're on. It'll be hooked up, then getting close to the top of 2nd it'll just come unglued and hit the limiter sideways.

That look of 'holy crap the rear end just fell off and the car is flying sideways' is priceless. That car is a beast. Those 4.10s will scare the crap out of you. I should have named it Widowmaker.
It has so much torque I swear it feels like **** is breaking or bending back there under the force.

The R is the opposite. I trust it. Maybe because it's NA and it's setup differently.
But something about the supercharger just makes the car scary if it's not in a straight line. You give it gas in a curve and the rear end will break loose and leave you looking like a fool.

Get back to work a couple days later, dude was like "man, I thought you had lost it there, and then I realized you knew what you were doing!"

had the Mustang out on the way home from class a few days ago, had just rained a bit. I had some fun sliding it around! There's some wide roads on the way home with little traffic, so I'm not worried if she gets super loose and spins out, but I love that the car is so predictable. I threw her 65* sideways leaving work a couple years ago on the old tires, laughing my *** off the entire time!

I did have the car lose traction going over the crest of an intersection at 45mph one time, that wasn't cool! Good thing I'm not one of those eating while texting and driving people or there'd have been some damage. Let off the gas, put in some opposite steering, and problem solved.

PSH was fun to drive in the cold, the goodyear eagle F1's gripped fairly well at decent speeds and it had a hell of a suspension setup. But once you got well into boost from the vortech.. yeah same issue you have lee, it just had to be at a much higher rpm due to difference in blowers.
