Whats the deal with these cars steering? Its like when you go around a corner on a wet road and the wheel is turned to a certain point the car wants to slide. Its also very hard to feel the road with these things, the steering is pretty tight but its hard too and you cant feel when your tires are starting to break loose. When my g/f got her GT she almost crashed it getting off the highway when the roads were wet. She just turned the wheel alittle and the thing started sliding and the rear end broke loose also. You cant feel the road at all with this car, i even have 17's with low pro performance tires and you still cant feel crap. Anyone else find this out about yours? It does handle really well but the steering is alittle funky...what do you think?

know your cars limits, i know all 4 tires can slide out from under me on smooth DRY concrete if i take a corner too fast/tight and i have my car dropped 2.5 inches(granted my tires suck). i know my car understeers if i get on the gas too early when turning. btw... what gave you the idea that low-pros have good traction in the rain? my suggestion for everybody is to take up autocrossing. thats the best way to learn your car.
