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

Do you have sports package nappymike?

If not then you don't have the viscous lsd. Only one wheel whill spin (most of the time) that is why its so difficult to get your 370 sideways. For those stating its easy to drift, they have the sp pckg along with the lsd.

haha oh it can get sideways - watch the sports illustrated model drive thing and turn off VDC

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...

Same here, very cool. Love the red one when it's parking at the end

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.
