P.S. we're switching between this and the my350z.com sticker thread! Funny.

here is what i learned..
you have to interp the drift like 3 seconds before because the steering "lags" because of the lack of grip...
the steering angle is harder to control in the snow mainly because lack of grip
the rear feels dead then it goes ----->
1. Correct, due to lack of grip every actions/reactions must be done at least 3 seconds in advance.
2. Its very similar to race drifting, the angle is harder but once you get tractions the car will move toward the direction the tires are pointing in. The tricky part is knowing when to release the brakes and let the tires spin again.
3. explain.

this time i will pull the VDC fuse...
because last time VDC kept kicking in even if its completely OFF because the wheels are spinning wayyy too much that the computer think its dangerous or its the LSD brake control...
Thats the thing, you should learn how to drive in conjuntion with the VDC. I would never drive in the snow without VDC, hence, I can pretty much expect when it kicks in, thus I can react accordingly.
VDC kicks in even if you turn it oFF if the wheels are spinning out of control...
yesterday i went sliding in the lot in the rain... it kicked in when i was sideways for like a couple seconds

lol
driving on the street without vdc is suicidal in the snow
