i think the mk2 gti perfected this habit and trait, in reality it handled better on three wheels than most of the opposition did on four

Not sure you can quite tell, but the wheel is off the ground

i don't know if ive ever had a wheel off the deck but do know my R slides all over the place its not a patch on the old 2.0 tsi GT that was so sure footed, I don't corner fast in the R now as ive totally lost confidence with it

Two wheels if you let the car run out really wide on the outside of paddock hill bend at brands. The rumble strip is a bit more raised, some cars can run onto it more, the scirocco isnt a fan of it though.
You'd be hard pushed to do it under braking in a scirocco, because the brakes suck. Your more likely to loose feel on the brake pedal and lock up. Aftermarket pads have their limit too.

The most fun thing is being flat out through a corner with ESP off and feeling the back end twitching about.
