Hi Jason. I also "lost it" in my Cabrio soon after I had it. Also on diesel spilled on a wet roundabout, but luckily at about 20 MPH with an empty "on slip" to end up in
It took me a while to believe in the inherently good roadholding of these cars so I used to creep around corners when I first had it. All that changed after a track day organised by Marlin at Landow in S Wales
I can thoroughly recommend that as a way to find the car's (and your) limits. I am running on Toyo Proxes T1R 205/55R16s at 20psi all round. These are really grippy and excellent in the wet.
However don't forget the golden rule of not going around a corner faster than a speed in which you can see is safe to stop if required! Peter.
