VDC OFF = Main cause of accidents in the 370Zs!

stupid drivers = main cause of accidents. I've had my VDC off since 18 years of age including the VDC on my old car.

VDC on or off combined with a stupid driver = accident.

:iagree:

I haven't pitched a 370Z sideways yet, but I have plenty of seat time in the 350Z, and that was a really easy car to throw around. Most people go a little too overboard with the throttle to initiate the drift, and end up spinning around. It's a balancing act, and it takes some practice to master.

^is that your M? LMAO! It looks like its snapping back from the initial slide haha! Its a weird pic!

Haha, not mine. That E39 belonged to an M5Board.com member named "Unkle Tom." He was doing a drift event at the Nurburgring GP circuit and had a little too much fun with it. The video wasn't too crazy, but it took one hell of a picture.

Some pics of him in action:

My unreliable V8 E39 sadly isn't an M...

LOL it looks like he got into real trouble. Did he make it or it flipped?

He made it. The picture makes it looks nuts, but in the video it wasn't too scary. You see it tip up, but it fell back over quickly. If I can find the video I'll shoot it your way, as the whole event was really impressive.
