Drifting

ResIpsa · 06-27-2009, 02:51 PM

My last car was a G35 and comparatively the 370Z is harder to get the rear end to come around. Of course it can be done but you need to really draw on a lot of power.

But IMHO this is a good thing. The 370Z is so much more balanced; so much more confidence inspiring. It's nice to know that you can really get on the throttle exiting a corner and the car almost magically pivots. Probably not the best for drifting but certainly better for road racing (on a track of course...).

And this car is much faster than my old G35.

maybe with vdc on. with it off, i disagree. you can get the rear end to come loose easily. like others said, it's all throttle control. this car slides with ease.
