Now i know its no where near the same thing, but i used to slide my 5,300 lb pickup in the rain or in the dirt with no issues. After a lot of practice i was able to get it down pretty smooth and transition my "drifts." Now with this car its a totally different nightmare. It just wants to keep spinning.
Any tips/tricks? I'm trying at relatively low speeds (~25-30mph) in 2nd gear. No ebrake used, either a clutch kick or just full power then release. Any advice is greatly appreciated and any shit talking is appreciated even more so - i love e-thuggin, it gives me a hardon.

1) do pedal dance and turn off ALL the aids, not just hold down button to get rid of it.
2) if you are spinning completely around (left turn drift, car rotates completely around), you are on the throttle too much and/or have understeer going in transitioning into snap oversteer. Learn to modulate throttle.
3) if you are spinning while transitioning left to right (and vice versa), but are otherwise okay with a single direction drift, you're on the gas way too early in a transition before the weight transfer is done. Work on weight transfer.
Keep in mind that this car is a Torsen LSD... and as such, it's very much like a Viscous LSD in that it won't allow you to slide continuously without some effort (and skill) from the driver.
