Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure this is true? My understanding (and, to some extent, my experience) is that, with the mid-engine design it's actually
less likely to spin...BUT once she goes the figure skater phenomenon kicks in---the car then spins with reckless (and hopefully for the driver, "wreckless") abandon!
