Same here, Deans car made me look like an autocross legend with my own theme music and fanbois. I was so disappointed to take the cape off and drive my own car again the next day
Quote of the day!

Just remember guys, there's a bit of a difference between the way Dean's nice, neutrally balanced AWD WRX amplifies mistakes, and the way a 400+ hp RWD beast amplifies mistakes. Accidentally get on the throttle too quickly in Dean's car: you plow. Do it in a Viper, you swap ends.

That said, it's really about the driver. Anyone who's out there to learn, and keeps the car under control and makes planned inputs will be fine. Anyone who's out there pretending to be Boris Said, drifting, early apexing, and pushing their limits is dangerous, regardless of the car under them.
