Now might be a good time...

"...It's not so much the near 50/50 weight balance that will make the car spin like a top, but the fact that it is a mid engine car and all the weight is centered were it is at. That is one resone that it has such responsive handling also..."

Agreed, but for the sake of this discussion, 50/50 Balance, Mid-Engine configuration, Rotational Center, and Center of Mass = Same/Same

"...The more I think about it(not real sure here) but it seems that I spun about 190 then something shock the car in the back and it started spinning again..."

Possibly ran Over the Tire or a component snapped from the Lateral Inertia.

"...I think twice or close to it before I ran out of road and slamed into the curb.
Truth to tell, it's preaty hard to say for sure when your spinning around thinking OH ****************! LOL..."

Yes,

Things can get Very Busy, Very Fast when you see the World passing by your Windshield from Left to Right! Especially if it's the 1st Time you've experienced this. I'm just Glad you're OK and the Car isn't too bad...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
