It was definately a wake-up call. I think it was a combination of the tires getting loose and lift that caused it to pivot like it did.
It's a fun story to tell, but I want to avoid things like that in the future. Otherwise you'll have to read it on my headstone.
I even thought I was being pretty conservative. I hardly stabbed the throttle. But the power-curve from the turbos with the stretched-out gears really lets the power sneak up on you. It feels totally different to me than high-hp naturally aspirated and juiced cars.
The moral isn't for everyone to go try and see if they can do it, too. The moral is to be very careful.
