Youtube moment

[LouG]

No, not even close.
But I now know how some people loop their Mustangs and go gardening in them.
I pulled out of a carpark and gave it just a tiny extra tickle of throttle to sneak into a gap, and the bugger started sliding sideways, dry road too.
It's no problem, it's super controllable, but I usually try not to do that in front of witnesses. Made me feel 18 again.

Yeah, not the same car but my '07 GT would just keep going in circles when I did that in rain for the first time. I still have that mental note not to do that again, LOL!! I didn't feel 18 doing that on a wet street, felt kind of surprised it would do it so easlly. Of course, yes, it had Pirelli OEM's on it. Never again with Pirelli's on a car. Sport bike tires, absolutely, cars, no.

If you had that cement block of a subwoofer all the way in the back like in my 06 GT, it was like an invisible hand pulling your back end out. I couldn't pull that thing out fast enough.

Was is cold out? I'll never forget the time a few years ago in my 2015 GT. I went to rip around some idiot making the world's slowest right turn in front of me. I was behind him, goosed it while making the turn to pass him on the left, and the next thing I knew I was fishtailing in normal mode on MPS4s. That was a moron moment for me. What I didn't account for was that is was a cold morning and those summer tires where like rocks. Thankfully I recovered the skid like a pro. But would've been on YouTube if I hadn't. Everone in the intersection got a show. Lesson learned.

Not too cold, about 15C, and the tyres had some heat in them running errands around town.
I see a set of Michelins or maybe the new Pirelli PZ5's in my future.
Even so, I think it'll always be a bit playful

If you’re going to goose the go pedal, make sure you are pointed dead straight

You can still slide em in arizona, especially in smaller towns/cities or rural areas, where there is often small patches of dirt of gravel on the road hahaha. I got mine to slide a bit accidentally making a right turn and one of my wheels hit some dirt in the roads hahaha. Wasnt bad but made my butt pucker up lol. Another time I was actually going strait and getting on it a bit when I felt this strange sensation that my wheels were moving but I wasnt going any faster, I let off the gas a bit then shifted gears and boom got traction back.

People not familiar with Phoenix don't realize we often get cold temps in January and February. That particular moring is was about 48⁰.

At a stop sign a couple blocks away, there are two dark black streaks on the street when the idiot turned right, they kept swirling to the right and went directly into the curb on the cross street. I guess he had his fun, LOL!

Yep, you gotta watch them there ticklin'!!!

Was driving home from a cars and coffee with the gf two weeks ago and up rolls this kid in a BMW with a penis cam hanging off the back....

• He was in the right land and dropped two gears and was staying beside me (I'm in left lane)
• I dropped to 3rd (I tend to hyper mile in the city in 4th) with the intention of ramping up the war whistle to let him know I'm not stock and to give the gf a heartbeat.
• Gave a touch too much at the same time I rolled into some crap roads in the GTA and the back started to dance like a drunk cheerleader on prom night.
• Kid took off like he thought I was going to race him, narrowly avoided hitting a car in front of him, cutting off the car in front of me and general being a butthead with his dads car.

Needless to say; these cars are no joke and the last thing a 50 year old wants to do is end up on a YouTube video... by accident LOL
