> nice. i like to e-brake on slow sharp corners but long sweepers i just down shift and pin it. not that i’m good or anything don’t take this as i can kill off ramps or anything just learning 3rd gear road drifts shady as hell.

exactly.

it’s tough to commit to 60mph into a 40mph turn, which you really have to do to get a good slide.

just takes some brass ones is all, I haven’t built my nuts up enough to do it yet :rofl

highest speed corner I’ve taken was in an industrial park, entered in 3rd about 5k rpms (around 65-70), flicked it, didn’t get a crazy amount of angle or anything but it was my first drift in 3rd, didn’t spin but I tank slapped it pretty bad when the car settled out.

I have a nasty habit of letting off as the car’s re-gaining traction, which of course looks like crap and feels like crap.
