So, "yes it's possible", but you point out that you didn't/couldn't as proof?!?

j/k

In all seriousness, I can drift decently. I have done so in this car (VDC off), and my fiance's C300 Sport (ESP off), along with many other cars I've owned. It's not hard to break traction in the Z, but to get it to spin out (rain/slush,sleet) would be a chore or very insane driving (discard black ice as part of the rule) with VDC on, IMO.

Example: I was trying to get it to break all rear traction, at high speed, in a sharp turn. At 65mph, I went to get an opposite lock in a drift around a huge parking lot. The moment I dumped the clutch and spanked the e-brake, the car owned my arse - and I looked foolish to my fiance who I was trying to show off for.
