Very, very true. It's my first RWD car, so that's one thing. I've done some... silly things in the Si and when it lost it, it definitely was a little interesting getting it back.

I feel like the FR-S loses it far easier but when it regains it (which is quickly), it's completely under control and you're a bit taken aback by it, almost like "did that even happen?"

The other night I was coming home through the city, just me on the road. There's one left turn where from the light, it's about a perfect first gear run and as you straighten out it's time to shift to second (~6.5k rpm). Usually from there it's a quick shift to third/fourth and just cruising around 40mph. Well, I guess I was on it more than usual and had to shift to second before straightening out, which the rear wheels broke traction a good bit with the hard shift. It felt like I had an angel watching over me, the TC/VSC brought it right back straight as if nothing happened.
