On the stock tires I'm assuming, that's freaking suicide

I did that for my test drive. The salesperson encouraged it. It was fun

Interestingly this car is easier to drive with the traction control switched off.

The car is a bit tail happy especially in the wet but oddly it is easier to provoke a sudden oversteer event with the traction control on.

Any reasonably skilled driver will find the BRZ quite benign with the traction control off as long as you drive correctly.

The stock tires are a problem because their breakaway is a bit abrupt. My snow tires are much easier to drive on.

I concur this car is extremely twitchy in the wet. Again, the car slides progressively with traction control off if you use a bit of discretion.

With proper tires this car should drive as on rails, wet or dry.
