islandbeef - In that video you posted (The BEST 2013 Lexus GS350 DRIFT DONUTS EVER!), it sure is strange how the windshield wipers were needed for the entire last 3rd of the video.

I don't consider what he did to be drifting. And why was the water needed?

Here is some drifting...

It sure is!

The car Ken Block is driving is actually a new car DEMO that will be sold to some unsuspecting buyer.

Our cars have open diffs... You'll need some speed to get it sideways.

See? Yet another reason to avoid demo vehicles. Ken Block will leave his mark in it!

After the burnout the car basically when into a low torque mode and I couldn't figure out how to break the rear loose. I never tried holding down the traction control button. That parking would have been perfect had I accomplished the donut I wasn't planning on drifting, my rear tires were down to 2/32's I just wanted to burn the last bit of rubber before swapping them out.
