You are a mad man! Awesome video! last time i did a doughnut i blow out my power steering pump. were you in Dyno-Mode? I find dyno mode to yeild the best results. Fun stuff What are you doing next for tires. Have you looked at the Nitto NT05's?

Just TC off ... as you know hooley ...these Supercharged C55's are crazy for letting loose... if your WOT and turn the wheel from a stop....its going to melt the tires off...

I went ahead and bought brand new Michelin Pilot PS2 Sports again... just reading all of the reviews...and feeling the grip I have with them... just forked out the 340 each on the rears...

I laid a twin strip slab half way down my brothers street just by punching it from a stop. the low end torque is mind boggling truly something to be felt. Man I love burnouts. You showed some nice control in a tight area. Leads me to believe it wasnt your first rodeo. Be honest. At any point did you say to yourself "Thats a curb" Some times I think these cars can turn better than a TORO landscaping mower.

alumar

hah ... actually at the very start I forgot to turn off ESP ... thats why i went for the curb and had to backup

Also... i will have to say... this was "not" my first rodeo

The car actually sticks very well when you let off... those pilots are great for that...I would say if you plan where you want the front to be, just let off @ 45 degree's where you want to end up at ... plants it every time like clockwork.... i.e toward the very end... lined it up to make my exit...

I live close to the highway so I have a Frontage road that has a huge wall to block out the highway noise and nothing on the other side. Its my own little proving grounds. I In one spot you can see 3 gears of wheel spin. its perfectly strait for about 1/2 mile or so. easy 0-100 runs no problem with not cars having a chance to pull out on you since there are no entrances after my street. I've done so many shifting test on that street. These C55 are donut machines with a blower on it it just makes it that much better.

nice I would be afraid to do that. My friend did that once and he hit the curb and made his tire looks like the delorean in back to the future :O

I probably would of picked a better spot, but we were at a limit on a Sunday day... i wanted to make sure it wasn’t around anyone ... obviously wouldn’t want to put anyone in a situation they weren’t asking to be put in... So picked a secluded lot and went for it.

There's always a chance to smack into something if the car does something out of the ordinary, but a few spinners and drifting exits are about spatial awareness and car control.

Practice makes perfect
