Your profile says you drive a Benz?

I remember seeing that video for the first time. It was really impressive, both the drifting and the location.
I've tried getting the back end out before on my car, but it snaps out fast for me and I always panic too much and let off instinctively. Short wheelbase+wide sticky tires make it so you have to be more familiar with the car, although I'm sure the basics would be the same as most other cars.

Most important though is to find a large open lot that's empty so no one gets pissed.

I dunno, I break mine loose almost daily

First thing I do everytime I get in the car is turn off TCU. My tires are wearing fast though I'm going to have to chill it out.

Well if I really tried I could break my loose all the time to but I really have to try unlike my two friends with a Trans AM and a Mach1 who can just tap the gas on the turn and their doing some Ken Block Sh** but I know that's due to garbage suspension and high amounts of TQ.
