Even the pro drivers use brakes during a drift.

^rly...?
Didn't know applying the brake pedal would be a benefit during a slide since it does apply the brakes to all 4 tires.......

I hope you are talking about the handbrake use and not the brake pedal..

There are ways of adjusting brake bias. I would guess drifters shift bias towards the front wheels to help make a tighter line.

Yup! ^^

Right. but since we are having this conversation about a street car that is designed to make the car stop efficiently not to do small adjustments while drifting, i dont think anyone is going to use the brakes on the Z to make those adjustments. If you are hoping to make any adjustments with the brake pedal in the Z then get ready to say hi to the closest wall around. :)

Yeah, the average driver is going to stuff it into the nearest immovable object if they push the brakes while the rear is sliding. I think drifting is a stupid "sport" so I could care less what happens when the brake is pushed while sliding. As long as the computer controls will not interfere with me when I'm on the road race track I really don't care what they do, or don't, do.

If when VDC is off I can still late brake into a corner and initiate rotation, I'm fine with that. If computer controls screw up my line... then I'm getting an Evo X next. My last car was a base model 350Z with no VDC at all. I sold it due to school finances, I didn't wrap it around a tree, in case anybody is wondering.

Well having lots of experience with G35 now the Z which has the same VDC and traction control, i can guarantee you that it will not interfere (VDC off) when you are trying to brake late into a corner or exit with the opposite lock completely engaged at 75 mph......

Cool, then I'm still sold on a 370Z.

Weird

Hope this doesn't happen to you Vin Diesel

Just a friendly reminder of what can happen when you do stupid things or drive way over your head.
