Driving skills, do you have them?

[Slowhand]

In my heavy , long assed Mustang with the big block I could do stupid tricks and not worry much. In the Festiva I would go balls to the wall and could induce throttle-lift, controllable understeer. In my very light and short wheelbase Jeep with the school bus-like steering and limited slip I don't even try to take a corner at speed and drive like a granny when it is wet.

Lift-throttle understeer? That's one I've never heard of.

/\ lol! I dont screw off at all anymore. I guess I just got old. I did testdrive a modded 03 M3 a while back and that car forced you to abuse it. Out of all the cars I have driven over the year, that car makes you feel like the stig(yes I hate admiting that).

ahem! We don't have any track dates scheduled this year for our school but there are plenty of places I still teach that you monkies can find out whether you just THINK you can drive or whether you actually can. I'd bet 90% of you THINK you can drive but will be humbled in your first track day event by a miata driven by a girl.

If you are truly interested in doing an event, look up the local HPDE events at the various tracks in the state. You will get hooked....trust me!

I'm pretty sure the OP was describing 'exhibition' driving skills, instead of true 'getting from one place to another in the fastest time possible' driving skills.

When I had my Z06 I drifted it daily in the parking lot at my work. A couple nice switchbacks and an island to go around on the way to my parking spot. It's funny now that I drive a TL for a daily the parking lot looks much smaller and I think 'there's no fucking way I could drive like that in here'.
Before anybody accuses me of being a dangerous asshole, the parking lot was very long and there are several buildings where the companies closed up shop and nobody works or parks there. No pedestrians or parked cars where I did this.

back when i was a kid i guess i could handle myself

[crapstang]

I did that in my dime when it iced over last year. Soooo much fun and there was never anyone out.

I'm too terrified to wreck my Mustang and it only 1 wheel peels so it is only left hand drifting in that thing. Then my truck has maybe 100hp and severe wheel hop. No fun in that thing. I use to rape the shit out of my 5.0 and am surprised I'm still alive.

I can get mine sideways if it is raining.....1 tire fire

LOL at driving around a shitbox daily driver with no p/s and no sway bar. Especially considering even with a sway bar, a fox Mustang handles and brakes like shit, and most new performance cars will blow it's doors off.

Lol, all my crazy driving was done in a Honda civic.

The coupe is unstable as fuck.
