The rear end jumped out on me on the 1-2 shift and then I over-corrected and it kicked out the other direction. Luckily nobody was around, as I work the overnight shift. But I swear I felt like I was going to have a heart attack right then and there.
Usually when this happens I just get a nice 1-2 shift chirp, this time I got poop inducing oversteer. So even the Camaro can be a bit unpredictable at times...although this was entirely predictable.

God that's a horrible feeling. Know it all too well and you end up thinking about it for weeks and getting knots in your stomach. Good news is you tend to learn from those experiences. It's fun when you are ready for it (wide open parking lot) but scary as hell when you aren't.
