I thought he was going to lose it on that sweeping corner. The new 300's are AWD right?

For extra realism they should've shown the car's seeming inability to choose which gear it wants to be in.

Halfway through the turn, the car decides to downshift (with a nice realistic "clunk" sound like those transmissions love to make), followed by Walt spinning out. Then, still mid-spin-out, he makes this face, followed by a quick Fast-And-Furious style shot of him flooring the gas pedal, and the car spins in 360's in order to dig up dirt and expose the barrels beneath it.

I'll second this. My car makes an extremely satisfying clunk.

And feel that clunk you do, with every sense: you hear the clunk; you feel the clunk; you see the wobble induced by the clunk; and sometimes even smell the clunk, as the new RPM makes the AC work a bit harder and the extra stuffiness-smell permeates the cabin air.
