take it to the track and learn there... Try the skidpad to see where it starts slipping and by driving on a track you'll definitely learn how your car handles. Plz don't do this in public intersections.

Run an autocross with the SCCA, its cheap and will let you play with your car legally in a low speed enviroment. The do an HPDE event , you get to play with it legally at higher speeds.

Well worth it, and it will help you becore a better more confident street driver.

Nah, just a strange place for a first post.

But by no means in a bad way.

If you have to ask... I'd leave it on. On the street I don't know that you'd gain anything of substance anyway.

haha someone was drifting down the ramp then.

i think it would be cool to learn how to drift on down ramps but i would definantly not do it on my 350z. perhaps a s13 tuned for drift
