My friend and I use to do donut on grass and we use to call it Duke of Hazarding becuase the end result was similar to what happen to the General Lee during the show. Keep in mind the show went through 250 to 350 General Lee's

I don't understand what happened. That field did not contain any rocks, it was flat/even, and without any hazards like trees, fences, etc.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

Lets be honest though... Who after reading this thread, doesn't want to go out and buy a $500 beater, and give it hell in some field... My buddy was given an early toyota celica one time, and we were too young to drive. So we used to beat around his (rural) neighborhood, offroading, trying to do burnouts and such. Best times ever...

Going sideways at high speed on grass is possibly even more dangerous/damaging than tarmac because of the possibility for wheels to dig in which will break them off, damage suspension or flip the car. |
