Hi,

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Hope everything works out for the best.

How fast were you going that the Car spun 3 times? I'm not inferring anything, but without much of a weight bias Front/Rear, the location of the Rotational Center of the car makes spin recovery much more difficult.

That's the downside to exact or near-exact 50/50 weight distribution. Makes a good case for many here to take some DE or Auto-X with their Cars so they have some notion of how it can bite you if you're under unusual conditions or not careful ...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
