With my lt1 ditto!! but soon come the nitto

 

Having Horsepower is nice, isn't it?

 

back before I cared about my tires, I almost did a 180 in a culdesac. I just got going about 40 mph, whipped the wheel around and yanked on the e-brake. I ended up at about 160 degrees, I probably needed to be going about 50 to go all the way around but I didn't want to go that fast in a residential area.

 

Find a big ol' parking lot, with no cars, no light poles, no car blocks. Turn the wheel all the way, rev the motor to 5K and drop the clutch. You won't hurt anything.

 

I know all those tricks and then some.

A few months ago a bunch of people got to see me doing some creative 360s as a quick means of track recovery after spinning out a couple of times at the Sunriders auto-x.

Unfortunately the porsche being tail heavy limits a lot of the stuff I can do in it.

Here is an old pic of me doing donuts around a light pole in my HS parking lot.

 

on gravel, in awd, go about 15-20 mph, turn the wheel one way, apply gas, instantly cut the wheel the other way, tap brakes, slam gas...if done right, then you'll get doing 360's until you let off the gas.

Ok, well maybe not just yet...but probably won't be long!

 

I put my car together to avoid all these things.
I am however capable of driving sideways in the rain through a grassy median at 80+. But do not normally do this willingly.

 

uh wouldn't locking the brakes on gravel give your tires some nasty bald spots?

And I think this is a lot easier for 2 wheel drive cars that don't have traction

 

I'm surprised that many people know how! Where is a goo dplace to practice?
