I believe the RSX is for you then. I heard they grip like no other and you can take 90 degree turns at 100.

You will do fine.....Keep it in second gear, rev to about 4,00 PRMs and dump the cutch. The drift will be awesome, unless of course you curb your car or go into the other lane. ....

I have also seen some good reviews about the grip of Nittos' in wet weather.

lets put it this way. if you understand and know how to drive the car in diff weather conditions you'll be fine.

Any rear wheel drive car has the ability to "slide" in any weather condition.

take a laxer....and you'll be fine!

It's a rear wheel drive car. If you goose it, the wheels will come loose. If you're turning a corner and goosing it, the wheels will come loose. If it's raining, as with any car, it makes it worse. Different tires, thread, and widths will help to a certain degree....
