Default 350z on the dragon

I just made a camera mount for my harness bar and decided I would go to the dragon to test it out and it worked great... unfortunately I had my camera set to record in sepia o well

That's the first time you've driven it? Did you just move there?

Wheel shuffling is good for certain applications. Technically, the hands should stay below the 9 and 3 position. You shuffle the wheel and keep your hands down low. Grip, shuffle, turn, grip, shuffle, turn. Reaching over with your hands can cause loss of control (sometimes).

I am pretty sure he has nothing to worry about. A lot of people auto-x/drift their Z and still has yet to break down.
