Then my wife just reefed the wheel as hard as she could and the entire car sounded REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 90 degree turn at 100 km/h no lies:!) and by some total fluke she went the right way and we were cruising down the road again. She started crying for about the next 15 minutes from the shock and was saying how she almost killed us n her birthday. That day I learned that the ESC works and works good, the G's the thing pulled around that corner and stayed stuck were very impressive, most cars would have had us in gate/fence/trees.

So I don't know about this whole lack of traction story
try using the handbrake when doing a quick 90 degree turn, maybe impact a difference impression, no?
