Last year getting off Kennedy onto the interstate I hit a puddle with the Buick going no less than 40mph. In a lighter car, it would have yanked the car hard to the side, I probably would have wiped out completely.

The car slowed, felt like I was driving through molasses...but didn't budge sideways a bit.

In the Datsun, I've gone onto wet roads, making certain turns...they slide around so much if I don't let off the gas and just coast. The other night I was out, roads wet...not getting on it much, and the back end comes out, let off, correct it, gas again, back end again, correct again...makes me nervous. Seems stable enough in a straight line though.
