I got a big dose of that up on the Blue Ridge Parkway following one of the guys from the Fiat USA press department. He was hammering the Abarth he was driving, demonstrating the car's capabilities to his passenger and I was trying to keep up in my Abarth. A corner was coming up fast just when I was just hitting 80mph. Getting hard on the brakes, the rear started moving around on the uneven road surface. That, and the minimum guardrail and huge mountain drop-off gave me an Oh-**** moment.
I went to cruise mode after that.
