Ah, I get it. That's okay, I think every forum has a deltaforce lurking in it's not-too-distant past. Now I know what kind of threads to start if I want to get this site's panties in a bunch.

Also, when approaching a sharp turn very fast at high rpms, can you let out the clutch to drift the car sideways going into a turn?
Or, more responsibly, if you're taking an exit ramp fast, can you lift off the gas to help bring the rear around if needed or mash the gas to help the rear step out under acceleration?

As for overall handling, many instructors at the track (high performance driving events) have said that the 350z handles like a dream and is very easy to drive fast.

Yeah, I'm no 'drifter'. I'm talking about drifting in that you feel the car slipping a couple inches but it wouldn't be visible from the outside; more a technique to get pointed into an apex better.
This new extreme-drifting hobby makes it hard to talk about regular sporty driving now.
Thanks for your description. I like what you said about the instructors' impressions.

Essentially you can do the same when coming to a stop light. Turn the wheel sharply, and hit the brakes. Then steer opposite the direction of the rear end. That will get you into a side slide. If you time it right, you can slide up to another car at the red light. The other driver will go “Oh man like that’s radical dude.”
