AWESOME POST, i really really wanted some instruction on the power slide, now to find a legal place to practice that. I hope my non-S boxster has enough power to do the power slide.

Dude... Do tell, im a PM if u must, After watching the vid, I didnt go try donuts or power sliding in the streets, but i did try to dump the clutch in 1st to spin the tires. BTW i have new Nexen 3000 z rated tires and it was kick ass, tires spun, they were very quiet and the car got alittle sideways the traction didnt catch until the vehicle speed matched 5k rpms and then rocketed away, It was a thing of beauty, I had Bridgestones before and it think they were too grippy cause the tires bounced, I think thats what your experiencing, too much grip, not enough slip. Also, the tire spin was done at the same stop sign, the same lane as the bouncy tires i use to have.

aside from burning up your tires
Does this do any damage to the car?

It's hell on the tires with every single slide and hard on the suspension if done a lot.
Tiff drives very expensive cars he does not own and never has to personally pay for when he burns tires off them or wrecks them.
Never forget that.
I still love watching him thrash cars around a track though. I live vicariously through him, and keep my Michelins from spinning because I have to pay big bucks to replace them and well, I choose not to do that more often than is necessary.

Which explains why Mr Bibendum was clapping in the video. How many "Why are my tires worn?" posts are we gonna see in a few weeks? Days, maybe?
