It can be scary as fuck in something like an old GTO.
Fortunately, modern cars handle so much better. That and radial tires make one hell of a difference.
A friend of mine had a 69 GTO that he put a bored out 468 CI engine in and that thing would burn rubber without you even trying. I would not want to try to negotiate a twisty track fast in that car!
I can actual do okay - so long as the car behaves consistently and predictably.
I'm a rally fan and have spent much of my racing learning at a rally school, so I can chuck it sideways well. More importantly, I can find the edge of adhesion and keep it on that raged line - if the car is consistent and predictable.
The trick is not having the rear wheels spin out when you don't want them to. I bet that car would be a fun drifter for a little while
