So how's the handling on wet and sandy roads?
 

I'm starting to hear from people that the z slides easily even w/ tcs on. Is this true? I know the car is still controlable. I always get scared when my 97'240sx slides just a little bit. I just want to know if it's worth going from base to touring.

I'm finding the Z to stick suprisingly well on wet roads. In fact, it seems to stick better than my integra does.

I find this odd since I'm pumping out significantly more torque even when driving nice-n-easy. I was afraid these "summer" tires would be slippery in the rain - tis not the case thus far!

It rained pretty heavily today here in the Seattle area after a fairly long period of dry weather. No problems whatsoever with the Z.

That is awesome to hear, considering I'm an Integra owner looking to get a Z. I was surprised at how crappy the Integra handles the rain and snow. My VR-4 was better. Of course, a VR-4 weighs 1000 more pounds. hehe

I lifted up a bit on a little burm while taking a sharp corner the other day and I slid completely neutral to the side about 2 feet then the car grabbed so suddently that it snapped my neck to the side.

I also hit a patch of sand on a sharp turn and got a completely neutral slide again.

I really need to break this **** in so I can drive hard by acclerating and not taking these turns.

I drove the car fairly hard in moderate rain and it was fine. Personally, I find it very uncommon to have the "SLIP" light come on. I pretty much have to deliberately try to get the back out.
