My rocc handled like poop. Well, it handled good but I couldn't toss it around. It just pushed (oversteer I think is the term). Couldn't make it fishtail in snow or get the back end to swing. It was stock and I'm guessing it had to do with the fact that all the weight in the car was in the front.

Our driving instructors officially called it a "J-Turn", but out on the track they all referred to it as a "Rockford".
