Drifting Mod Chip available?
 
Just curious if there is such a drifting mod chip because of what I saw a Nissan 370Z do the other day.

I saw the Z driver perfectly slide the rear around a left turn in front of me, no smoking tires, just barely enough wheel spin to initiate the "casual looking" rear slide for the entire turn. I gave him a thumbs up as he slid past in front of me going the other direction. I'm jealous :(

It got me thinking....is there a TCS mod out there to perform controlled, modest slides?

lol wut?

Sounds like driver mod, how is a chip going to countersteer for you?

Or you could just not drive like a fucking asshole in public.

You need the driver mod chip for your brain

I heard you can watch Keiichi Tsuchiya video's Clockwork Orange style and get the same effect.

Sounds like the guy just knew how to drive

Was thinking TCS could control right amount of wheel over spin to allow the rear to move out...counter steering obviously by driver.

Right now with TCS on I can get the rear to move out easily (with 300hp) but it catches the slide by cutting power.

Yeah, they call this TCS setting "Off" :D

Should be called TS (traction system) instead of TCS because there is no control over the amount of wheel spin you want.

For those doubting this could ever be done...it already has been done on a smaller scale. "Drifting" RC cars have been around for over a decade now.

While I would not want my steering input overridden as it is on the RC's, the technology for controlling the wheel spin is already there.

Track mode on the facelift cars will let you slide a bit more, but it won't help you slide. It just won't cut you so early and aggressively.

A proper drift mode would rely on the ESP (maybe?) and torque vectoring, the latter of which these cars don't have.

My bad. RC and full size car totally the same thing.

Brags about 300 HP.

Hasn't read the owner's manual.

Guess I better find my manual.

To be fair, Ducati has electronic slide and wheelie control on it's bikes, seems like it wouldn't be hard to do electronic drifting aids in a car.
