I tend not to slow down for curves unless they're around 90 degrees, then I will lift my foot of the accelerator. Grudgingly.

And if it does start to feel a little loose, you want to direct the force forward by accelerating.

But I've driven two auto-crosses (and loved them) so I'm very familiar with what my car can do. I let one of the instructors run me through the course the first time, and it was SHOCKING

I was scared out of my wits, but the car took it like a champ, with minimal roll.

So, yeah, try an autocross, it is entirely too much fun. :dance:
