Has anyone tried drifting!? HOW

red6spd

Well if I really tried I could break my loose all the time to but I really have to try unlike my two friends with a Trans AM and a Mach1 who can just tap the gas on the turn and their doing some Ken Block Sh** but I know that's due to garbage suspension and high amounts of TQ.

Lawl if i drift the benz ill be dead in a couple mins, no but im getting a z within the month so just wondering what i can do.
and i think that under the vid post it tells the specs? i might be mistaken

It's one of those things like going hot into corner on a bike. Survival reaction is to chop the throttle which upsets the suspension, makes the bike want to stand up, resulting in an even wider corner. Right thing to do is to remain calm and relaxed (esp upper body), when in doubt, give it more throttle.

I'm sure similar concept applies here. Find yourself a big open parking lot with no light poles or other fixtures and have at it.

was able to do this myself with very little effort required...had it in 1st with vdc off and gunned it through a right hander, drifted perfectly and once i was through the turn slapped it down into second and took off like normal. my 370 gave me a sense of confidence while doing this as it just was so balanced i could not believe it, love this car even more the more i drive it and get used to it.

For people who have practiced in open lots: Has anyone ever given you trouble over it? Store owners or even police?

the one time dirfted was in a parking lot, but it was at night so no cops or store owners were present....however I wouldn't recommend doing it.

So this was me on a wet day but it dont
After if it's wet or dry its gonna be harder in a 370 to drift then a nismo because of your open diff. You need a 1.5 LSD at least to be able switch back drift. You can always faint drift going into a corner hot and throwing the car off balance and coming out of the corner in a drift. Or e-brake into it which locks the rear with the clutch in and then turn and pop the clutch to get the wheels to spin with no traction. Also turn of ur rev match.

Yea I wouldn't recommend practicing it often unless you enjoy buying 1500 dollar sets of tires every three months

Remember parking Lots can be very slick..They seem to be slicker than the public roads.

So be careful. I have been known to do a side show or two..Not in the 370Z....Yet.

Also select on ramps are a good spot for a drift..Provided it is early morning and no one is around...

i like watching it but no way would i try it....
with my budget couldn't afford the tires or transmissions

yah, slight kick-out here and there on faster turns is fine for me.
