The Texas A&M Sports Car Club just had their second spring autocross today. After the 3 heats were finished, they opened it up for free runs for a buck. My current set of wheels are the stock touring 18's wrapped in BFG KDW2's, 255/40/18. Since I didn't exactly want to burn through $800 worth of new tires today, I put on my old stock 17's with the Sh!tenzas on them. I went and basically trashed the crap out of them. This is by far the most fun I have had in my Z for more than a year of owning the car! I can see why the Japanese crowd enjoys it, and I am definitely into it now more than I was. On my fifth and final run, I took the last turn of the course going about 80 mph. I was white smoking the entire way through the turn. It was the most awesome experience I've had. I was able to develop a "feel" for the car and tell when it was in that sweet spot of being out of control, but maintaining it. I will hopefully get a video next time! I just thought I would share the experience and encourage anyone who hasn't tried drifting, to do it!

 

sux does'nt it..... start stealing used tires for your friends....If their resistant, punch them in the jugular because drifting is worth it.
