Anyone tried drifting with the 370 yet, or heard of anyone doing it?

With VDC off, I find it very easy to blip the throttle and induce a nice 'tail wag' around corners on dry pavement. If I really stood on the throttle during one of those maneuvers, I'm sure I could do a 360 before I realized what happened

Haven't seen that video before. Way cool...

WooZ · 05-04-2009, 10:37 PM

...then looked at the swimsuit models' videos which were even cooler.

I think there is a vid or two of some drifting at the practice course in Ebisu. I have seen at least one though in the past week. Check youtube or streetfire.

I haven't tried it yet, way too hard on all the parts, maybe when she gets a little older.

Kind of funny how drifting is so popular now. Auto, performance and tire manufacturers have spent the last 50+ years trying to get cars to stick and not drift for racing, and now we've just went and messed things up
