13dog, I don't know what the current slang term is for it, but us old timers used to call em "donuts" (that is if you do a complete 360). Maybe he was just shooting for a 180.
formerNXMX5 is correct, our "big brother" ESP is always looking over our shoulder to keep us on the straight and narrow.
With a short wheel base, nose heavy, high performance car such as ours, it should be able to do "donuts" with ease. Maybe they are immature, a little hard on the car, and dangerous (if performed in the wrong place at the wrong time). But at least he chose a deserted parking lot (like the Mustang ad promotes) and they can be alot of fun.
My AMX does it with ease, and I have to admit, it’s only been a few years since my last one. (sorry Andrew) ...Boyz will be boyz no matter how old we get, and besides, what's the sense in having a "muscle car" if you can't get a little "crazy" every now and then?
