The Ferrarri spun out and crashed because he applied too much power. Likely his spin was because he had too little experience in the car and tried to acclelerate when he should not have. I had a car that acted very similar. My 2007 BMW M Coupe (Z3 based hard top coupe) The power was more than the short wheelbase car could handle if you turned off the traction control entirely. So you had to learn where the cutoff point was between handling and power.

This car (the BRZ) only requires you to learn how to snap the car back into control by a couple of easy methods, which is easier than any real factory spec sports car that I have owned in stock form. For me this is car is better than any mid engine layout or RWD factory car that I have dirven. BMW's and Audi's are much heavier, and the Alfa Romeo 4C is a carbon chassis and aluminum body that will be a great sports car, but will cost 75.000 plus dollars. To be able to have such a great handling car at such a low price makes me feel like we have found the bargain of the century..............
