I've never driven anything that handled as well as that GTA, and it was a really good looking car, too. If only it had come with enough power to make it dangerous... It did have vicious torque steer with the wheels at full lock and gassing it.

I've lost it too many times to describe, in dirt, snow, ice, rain, and dry, but all with old school cars. My xB comes with VSC and traction control, so I may get a chance to lose it in the rain this winter, to see how it reacts.
