lol you have to give it more time. I'll have to play with you and give you some tips or something.

It has a pretty lengthy learning curve.

He probably means exactly that. It won't do very well with drag radials making that much power. You would need to run full out slicks to get the "right" traction.

Yes they do, and a TT setup is similar to a v-8's low end torque,(i think twins are at full boost around 3,200 ish?) but, they all have traction issues on the street. With that much power, I would be surprised if you could even launch it on drag radials. Not like you can turn down the torque of your Ls1. My power is linear, but when the boost comes in, I could be in 3rd sometimes and get squirrely or sideways.

Yeah sure. I'll trust your drifting advice. No thanks man. Especially if there are children around.

only thing you need to start drifting is a set or sets of drift wheels and tires. The car will perform excellently stock. If you have a base model, you will do a lot better if you have an aftermarket lsd.

Research on what LSd you want, and the question is, can you install it yourself?
