Hahaha, very nice catch actually. And aren't we talking about "forgiving"? Quick hands too. As I was watching the vid, I could not help but think how many times you were shifting mid-corner at full throttle, and quite forgiving.

I think you make good points as well. What the word "forgiving" to me means is recoverability from a mistake induced from an input from the driver. As you mentioned, if you get into a slide with the CS, it is very likely that you will spin. However, with the GT3, thus far at least, even when the back "snaps," recovering has been much easier for me.

However having said this, I think what you are stating is that with speeds the GT3 reaches and how quickly it reaches them, there is a lot for the driver to consider while driving it, and there are more opportunities for a driver input to induce an unwanted reaction from the car.

Does it make sense?
