Have a '99 XK8 conv. Did an unplanned 360 while traveling about 55 mph, straight and level during a rainstorm last week. Fortunately, no injuries or damage. Was not braking or turning, the front-end just seemed to take off on its own.
Have talked to one other 2000 XK8 owner who had similar experience also last week.

Anyone else experience this? Could there be a front-end stability problem?



I have a '98 Coupe that has been nothing but reliable in rain/ice/snow. Do you have traction control on yours (mine does)?
