Yeah the noises I'm used to from my STI. The first part sounds interesting though.

Also like you said, its just not possible to react fast enough to a car which you have no experience with that exact situation in. The first time I drifted the car intentionally, just on instinct coming from AWD, I gave the car too much gas after the back end starting coming out.

If my steering input hadn't have been good and my "OH F@$@" reaction was to clutch or slam on the breaks, I definitely could have been the first wrecked brz.

That's enough confessions for the the day though. I don't recommend this throw yourself in the fire type of learning, but we all do stupid things.
