370Z Slide
Picked up a 09 370Z not too long ago. I've had a pair of Subaru STi, a BMW 135i, a Volkswagen R32. All fun cars, but this thing is pretty awesome... Great chassis, excellent brakes from the factory, strong V6 and she can dance pretty well also. Shot of some drift practice.

Thanks! I had an 04 in blue and an 07 in grey. When I first got my first one back in 04/05 it was unique and sadly that's no longer the case. Great fun though and a nice platform if you plan to build from! You're 370Z looks very... stock.

My first thoughts are the car has a fair amount of mechanical grip totally stock so it takes some effort to force it sideways if you're just trying to hang a slide from a slow speed. Of course my last car had over 100whp more and 35mm less tire over the rear so that makes a lot of sense. While driving fast at the limit if the tires do decide to let go it does so with very little drama and it's really easy to control. Lots of clear feedback through the car to let you know what's going on which makes it a lot easier and more rewarding for the driver.
