I guess one of my motivations here is that the speed at which I'd have to fling the Volvo into a roundabout to unstick it (in the dry, at least) is so high that no sane person would attempt it. Before you ask, the handbrake is rubbish.
So I'd like something that has very little grip, and is nicely balanced, so everything happens at low speeds.
The Volvo is great for very fast cruising, and if I put coilovers in the back as well and dumped it, plus upgraded the ARB's it'd go round a circuit fast enough as well.
But- again the speed at which it'd unstick then would be even higher, and the accident even bigger.
