I do that too everyday...to merge with traffic going 80mph on the 190 turnpike....and it is fun revving it and using the shifter paddles

Found another cool video of an IS350 drifting around a parking lot.

Needs more control. Good effort though.

Sure it wasn't a nice circle but the control was pretty good. Maybe it's just me but it looked like the guy was cutting it awfully close at times with that building behind him. He managed the throttle well enough to avoid hitting that, at least.

Pretty cool vid. Looks like the guy comes really close to the wall there.

Am I the only one having problem doing a burnout/donut on my IS350?

It seem like I had no problem doing burnout before the accelerator recall but after I can barely chirp my tires.
