Yes, letting go of the wheel "sounds" wacko, but the next time you're on an autocross or skidpad, try it. I guarantee you'll just start giggling to yourself about how easy and effortless it really is.

This morning on Mullholland Drive I ran into a wet patch of pavement as I was tracking-out of a corner. I had plenty of warning (eyes are always out and up) so I decided to give it a little welly.

Just a quick stab on the loud pedal to break her loose and let go of the wheel for a fraction of a second...

It was beautiful...a graceful little slide with the revs climbing ever so slightly. Shuffle steer back to center as the traction returns...

I cannot say it any better than, "This car is like time-released orgasms."
