I learnt all about fishtailing in 1987 in Florida.
When we collected the rental car at Orlando airport the agent looked at my licence and said "you are from England, can you manage a stick shift?" Yes, I replied, why?
She said "I've got a car for you that I think you will enjoy".
Walked out to the carpark to find an almost new white Ford Mustang GT.
5.0L, 225 bhp, 300 ft lbs and a 4 speed box.
It was a hoot, just the right amount of power to get it to fishtail anywhere, especially if the road was a bit damp.
