Message	car got light. driver downshifted to slow the car down for the right turn (<-- bad move). rear lost traction (slowed tires too much when engine caught) A: light car + momentary loss of traction = oop$. you never use the transmission/motor to slow a car down. Only the brakes. you can rev match to complete a shift, but you never ever let the engine slow the car. The #1 Reality Check for Z Enthusiasts = Nixit
