Make sure that you don't just keep the throttle buried and rely on steering input to keep you going because you will end up on full opposite lock and spin out to a stop. Throttle modulation is your friend . If you want to do controlled donuts then introduce some left foot braking. the brakes on the rear are less powerful and will allow the rears to continue to rotate with slight pedal pressure, but the front's will hold or slip at a lesser rate. You can do some nice slow controlled 360s with left foot braking.

Here's a small video of me in my old car being a little ***** and running away from security: http://www.hangar13.net/movies/donut2.mpg
It's really quite sad that I'm in my 30s and still do stupid stuff like this...

step one buy some cheap bleach.
step two drive thru it once or twice after dumping on pavement.
step three jam the gas to the floor.
step four look at the clouds of smoke from back tires.
step five repeat previous steps for more smoke.

Yeah I forget to mention how helpful left foot breaking can be. Maybe that should be saved for Advance Donut Class.

That is a great video! LOL I too am over 30 and still drive like a **** sometimes...

That is a great example of drifing out of the donut.

The Mustang sounds great. That sounds blown? What have you done to it?


I just found this. Supra Donut Really show both drift donuts and standard donuts plus with his loud BOV you can really hear his thottle modulation.

Don't have it anymore . Hit a financial stumbling block and had to sell it. Ended up in a Lancer ES... The future is looking bright though and an Evo should be around the corner after next . The Stang had Eibach springs, Tokico struts, MM C/C plates, Bassani O/R X-Pipe, MagnaPack catback, 70mm TB, Pro-M 80mm MAF, and Vortech V2-SQ with stock pulley. Made 380 SAE at the wheels and ran a best of 11.9 @ 115. Not bad for a 3650 lb car with driver.

You do realize that getting an Evo to do donuts is much trickier than getting a Mustang to do the same, right?

Haha, the only donuts I'll be doing in the Evo are the 360 spins on the Auto-X circuit when my no-driving **** makes a mistake. I loved my Mustang, but making it turn was a real headache - that thing plowed so bad it wasn't funny.
