If you've ever wondered....

Just thought i'd share a little test result. If you've ever wondered if you could pull a 360 in your SL on dry pavement, YOU CAN! Unless you don't know how, but last night I decided i'd try pulling that move that was done on F&F2 where he did a 180 on the highway and drove backwards and then swung back around. Well I did it to perfection, idk how fast they were goin in the movie but i was doin about 55 when i hit the Ebrake. Don't worry it wasn't on the highway, it was on a wide, long business road late at night with no one around except a trucker waiting for his load that saw the whole thing. The car took it nicely too, much control. :)

Maybe I should buy an SL just to try that out :naughty:

I've done this at super slow speeds. Its not really that difficult. I did it in a big open parking lot at under 10 mph.

hehe, try it out in ur spyder (ya right). I was wondering if it would be okay to do that w/ awd? b/c im gonna get a vr4 soon and i wouldn't want to break anything w/ my stupidity.

Well in 2f2f it was done in an EVO which is AWD.;)

didn't think of that...but then again you never know what they did to it for the stunt and whatnot.

Ive done that on my crappy stealth! Its freaking slow and I tried it at a safeway parking lot..fun.

Yeah, me and a couple friends screwed around with my 3000 in big empty parking lot behind a High School. My car took it surprisingly well. I'd really like AWD though...it would make drifting...possible? I've heard that there is no such thing as FWD drifting, but we got some good powerslides going.

If you mean drifting like you see those japanese pros do...it is predominantly rwd. IMO breaking lose by going fast around a turn in AWD would be powersliding...
Burnouts, donuts, and/or sliding sideways isn't 'drifting'

This thread says it all:

i saw a video of a vr4 burnin out spinning the tires doin 360's all over the place it was sick i didnt think it could be done w/ an awd but its definitely possible..btw i think i searched yahoo for vr4 and saw it there

Yeah i've seen that video before, I know it's physically possible but like it can't really hurt my FWD that much, I was wondering how hard it would be on the AWD drivetrain if at all.

2 things... first i did that at about 60 in a volkswagen passat vr6 and it was so much fun...second i found this amazing video of a STI going down a race track going past the entrance of the pits and without slowing down turns the other direction and goes in the out of the pits.....

sweet wanna see if you can find that video?

are u guyz talking about that YELLOW VR-4 doing dounts in the parking lot, because i think i seen that one also.

I found the link: U go here, then its the second video called 3000GTBURNOUT. http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/view?&h=101&w=140&type=avi&vurl=agtblank.hopto.org%2Fvids%2Fmikevsjeremy.avi&back=p%3D3000GT%2BBurnout%26sp%3D1%26sm%3DYahoo%25 21%2BSearch%26toggle%3D1%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3DFP-tab-vid-t%26SpellState%3Dn-2751428139_q-jMA70a.9UeGwtIlldF%2FC.wABAA%40%40&rurl=agtblank.hopto.org%2Fvids%2Flist.htm&turl=re2.mm-so.yimg.com%2Fimage%2F1505368036&name=mikevsjeremy.avi&no=2&tt=2&p=3000GT+Burnout&size=7.8MB&dur=44
