Try spinning out 450o then counter spinning 270o at over 100mph. Everytime I am on circuit, my overwhelming emotion is fear
I don't use it on a track, but on the road, at road speeds, it just seems to get better and better the harder you push it. I have a selection of very challenging (and empty) roads that I love chucking the car down - there is little better than sending it sideways through a 90-degree turn and using the torque to balance the rear and shoot out onto the straight.

Maybe I've just had relatively unusual cars before, but I don't find the wheelbase overly snappy, or the torque an issue...
