Talking How many of you intentionally like to kick the rear end out?

Every once in a while I come across this nice bend (almost a 90 with no stop sign)on a wide back road on my daily commute, and I rarely ever see anyone down there... So if I'm feeling like letting it loose I'll pop it into 2nd at around 25mph and gently let the rear end step out a little bit! Then I let off and counter steer to correct. The best part is, it's smooth asphalt so not a rock anywhere! and on the issue of safety, I have a wide range of view to see if anyone is coming, and if I were to spin out I'd go straight into the grass and be perfectly fine! Any of you guys enjoy this LSD?

Knowing how easy it is to lose control of a car doing that, never.
However, I do find myself rolling on it pretty hard from 20-25mph and letting the converter blow the tires off for a few revolutions.

It's only easy if you don't know what your doing.

GUILTY!

I've been known to do this in some not so great places but some times the urge just overcomes logic. I stop myself if I see an old woman crossing a street or a soccer mom with a van full of kids. HAH I'm joking! But, I do love drifting in a corner with this car. I have always wanted to do this ---

Every single day. Hence the dealer gave me an unsolicited quote for two new rear tires when I was there the other day

That's why my rear tires only last half as long as the fronts.

You should put a supercharger on and then you can spin them tires from just about any speed. I think the most miles I got out of my back tires was 10,000.
