It could use more steering angle, but still VERY impressive for a factory car. =D

This is a TVD equipped car correct (hence no sunroof)? I want to see how a non-TVD RCF performs in same drifting of circular and figure 8 motions.

Doesn't look like it lacks power to rip the sticky 275 Michelin tires.

I was thinking it is the TVD.

That GoPro is smoked.

I would think the non-TVD is better for drifting. Can probably get more consistent angle out of it too. The TVD equipped cars will always keep trying to correct itself.. so it's not optimal for drift.

I believe it has different modes in the TVD. You can select a different mode that will function more like a Torsen diff in order to allow drifts.
