But the other 99% wanna-bes turn off vdc/tcs & its only a matter of time before "crash".

Plus I don't get it on drifting; why? But I rode bikes for 30 some years where keeping the rubber connected to the pavement was a must.

I was very apprehensive during my 1st turn since I didn't know how my Z was going to handle the course in the rain. With the TCS and 4-wheel ABS (with stock rims & tires), my Z stayed on course the entire time. Never slid nor hydroplaned. I now have complete confidence that the Z was engineered to handle extreme conditions, to include being pushed hard on the track. It really made me appreciate my Z a lot more.
