2010 370z - VDC Question, and 2nd gear...

Nitex · 08-20-2010, 09:42 AM

Induced Dry drift yesterday on the way home from work. Flip to the right, hard turn back to the left. Gas feathered... Came out predictable and safely, with an easy counter steer to correct. My advise is to find a parking lot, and go for it. Both in dry and wet conditions. If you find it all to easy to end up sideways, and your unable to correct the car, then leave VDC on or keep practicing!

Really though guys... Unless road conditions are wet/slippery, you really shouldn't have an issue with accidentally stepping it out. It almost requires an intent to slide in dry.
