Recently bought a c4 corvette cause it seemed like an underrated performance car with a good bang for your buck value. Thing is I’m used to driving an economy car. What are some tips for a rwd and relative high power car? I’m coming from a hybrid econobox so yes it’s vastly different.
Be very gentle and smooth with your acceleration, and don’t accelerate even modestly until you have the car pointing straight. Also, don’t be afraid of the car. Just drive like a granny, and you’ll gradually get used to it.
I daily a hybrid, but have also driven everything from WW2 army trucks to mild supercars. The only car I ever felt was actively trying to kill me was a 1st generation Dodge Viper GTS on a rainy day. No traction control in that car meant it was a vehicle for drivers with better than average skill. Even then, I felt I could get used to it if I had more than an hour to drive the car.
So yeah, be careful, and you’ll be fine.
