After watching them try to drift, it confirmed my suspicions that the Z is indeed "tail happy". In that case it's going to take someone with more skill than I have to be able to do it well.

Think I'm going to leave my VDC switch on for the moment....
From what people have told me, the Z can get tail happy with VDC off...in terms of drifting it, the thing that makes it difficult with the 370 is the ABS.
When you are in the middle of a drift and you try to correct yourself using the brakes, the car straightens out breaking the drift.

EDIT: forgot to mention there's a fuse you can pull out to disable ABS but it also disables your brake lights.
