During an increasing radius turn, as I was starting to lean into the throttle just past the apex, the tranny down shifted and the whole car walked about a foot to the right from the interruption in torque. This threw off my line completely as I was only gonna end up about 6 inches from the meridian with the line I was on... And scared the hell out of the sales person in the passenger seat. I must say, I wasn't impressed either.
