I got a bit of wheel spin from the back but nowhere near as much as if I was in a pure rwd. Unlike traditional rwd, during at-the-limit cornering a strong application of throttle did not induce power oversteer. Nor for that matter did early throttle application induce terminal understeer (much to my surprise). It was pretty cool!
I'm hoping you don't have an automatic...

I've seen too many transmissions get ruined at my highschool with idiots revving their cars and dropping the transmission into 'D'... Oh the horror !
