What you need to Drift in a 370:

1. Lots of tires

2. A large empty flat paved area.


Enjoy.

oo wow! =) love it! drifting betters a drivers ability to be on the defensive just in case something goes wrong or your prepared for any scenario... not to mention gets you more in tune with your car..:tiphat:

Consider looking around for a HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) course at a local track. You will learn about your car and how to drive it at speed. Graduating HPDE is the first step around here to get a "sport driver license" issued by our local racing school. You need one of them to go solo on track days on school-sponsored track days.

Regardless of any solo requirements (a lot of groups only require an informal check out drive), HPDE training is a great way to learn your car and learn how to drive at speed.

Not really, you go faster having grip, not creating a drift

Ohhh I hope this ends well, I don't want to see another totaled Z.

In days of yore, we simply called this "power sliding" :D

You can drift/powerslide anything, although how you initiate it and how easy it will be to control will vary depending on the vehicle.

If you end up going backward in a manual, you stab the clutch and save the engine.

The auto...?

push the stick into neutral i guess? You don't have to be on the brake to go into neutral in the auto.

Do you not understand how an auto works?


Absolute worst case, you damage the torque converter....

I think it is entirely possible to do. I would suggest doing it on a track or in a wide open lot . While it will improve your skill at controlling the car in a slide, drifting/powersliding is in no way a defensive driving technique and i hope you don't plan on doing this on public roads.

This is always a problem when you drive in Manual mode and forget you pushed it over into Auto, you go to "shift" but go into Neutral... :facepalm: :rofl2:

:icon17:

Or you forget you're in Manual mode and rev the engine to 6K RPM :roflpuke2:

I bought an Auto too (not sure if i regret it completely or not) but Im planning on participating in some AutoCross events here in Vegas...I'll be sure to post up on here with my thoughts on it.

wait till it snows then you can learn to "drift" at slow speeds.

that's what she said...
