Default Video: Drifting my IS350
Drifting my IS350 around Mosport's DDT skidpad last weekend. Did the "foot dance" to disable VSM. Non-sport (open diff) luxury model.

Bone stock car. Spent all the money on modding my other beasts. I need one of them to be reliable and comfortable. The M3 and 911 were in the shop during that track day, hence the footage of the IS around the skidpad. LOL!

What suspension you running on yours? It looks sick!

I can certainly teach you, but it'll cost you rubber! Actually, i'm a performance driving instructor... that's what I do best! It's all in the throttle (and some steering input). Most people think that drifting is all steering and just floor the gas... all wrong.
