Funny how most G owners really can't drive this car the way it can be driven. Not talking noobs, talking the expereniced ones.

I don't take the traction control off unless I take my car to the beach. Try it and you will realize its quite addicting and awesome. Maybe its not the best thing for the car but I don't care.

Try an empty snow covered parking lot

now that's some fun. Leave lots of free space from the edges though.

No offense buddy....LOL

Growing up almost all cars were RWD. Traction control wasn't even a thought in an engineers head. Chicago winters = see how long you can keep the car going sideways...

Throw some dubs on there....that'll keep you from roasting tires. I wouldn't dare roast the tires on my Vossens....of course their not sitting on much sidewall either

it is more fun to play with it off with a few inches of snow and an open parking lot. Me and a guy I work with has a 350z...bored at work, decided to drift in the parking lot since the plow only did a circle and left. Pretty good times since no other cars were near the plowed area.

Definitely practice before going near stuff that will hurt the car. It turns into alot of fun lol
