i was on 3rd as soon as entered the freeway i hit the gas shifting to 4th i felt the slipping toward the concrete tried to control it a bit and i end up hitting back tire and front tire.
thank god i didn't go all the way into the concrete
3 -> 4 is sketchy. I know a local that crashed his car with a 3 -> 4 shift with DSC off too.. They had to write the car off. Be careful the dynamics of a V8 is much different that an I6. When you floor it you'll sway to the right and left (X axis movement) with an I6 you'll just get Y axis movement, thus lessening your chances of losing the rear end. And wtf are you doing with DCS off when your rear tires were already losing traction?
Crashes happen to the best of us, just move on and get the next best thing!
