I agree with the above. Get another car and learn how to control it. I made the same mistake when I was 17, I have moved on now from that. despite driving a 318 I drive much slower on the road now.

Just a question to the experts in this thread: 'you lifted the throttle and you were done, there was no recovering'. I thought TTO was not that... fatal in E30s. You make it sound like once the rear has stepped out there's nothing you can do. AFAIK not even SWB 911s are that nasty, but I may be mistaken.

To both the above: I understand what you're saying especially about the driver. I was under the impression, validated by other cars and my own driving, that the much less sudden behaviour of street tyres and street suspension not to mention, arguably, the lesser adhesion = lower speeds of street asphalt would actually work in your favour - assuming decent tyres and nonworn suspension. It has also been my impression that E21s, to name something related to the E30, are.. significantly nastier in this regard, not to mention absolute gems like the E-type. Again, my opinion, worth what you paid for it etc., but I am curious to understand if I am just driving unaware of how nasty the car really is.
