nice. you should try doing what i called a hurricane. it's where you basically do donuts but all 4 wheels are spinning and your pivot point is the center of the car. looks awesome on camera with powdery snow. go have some more fun in the snow. it'll teach you so much about how your car reacts in the snow and when the car is actually starting to lose grip. the front wheels are easy to tell when they lose grip, the rear is a little hard but try to feel it in the seat. also learn soft throttle control, don't stab the gas unless you want the rear end to swing in the direction of the front wheels

lol, all about throttle control and lateral momentum.. but who am i to give pointers, i learned how drift to on a fwd Impala (barely considered drifting), it takes a lot of skill to drift in a fwd car IMO lol.

aha thanks for the advice. it was above freezing and i was e braking a lot somewhat and it tore down to the gravel and so it was kinda hard to drift. i burnt my clutch pretty bad then just decided to keep it in first and red lined for awhile. i like how i can hear the turbo a bit on the first drift haaha

make sure you cool down your turbo properly on the drive home. else don't go drifting too much

Can't tell you how much I love snow. Went out a couple nights ago and found a lot with six inches of powder. Pure bliss.
