Spun out in the G
I'm rly scared of putting my car into a 180 not even in a sharp turn.
my tires are rly bald and i can feel the car go sideways during fast driving and not sooo sharp turns. I think its time to get new tires.

Driving with the VDC on all the time is also going to fool you as far as where the limits of adhesion are. While an easy break in traction is hit & miss in a straight line (for me), the G coupe is always easy for me to swing the rear around a turn.
I hardly ever drive with the VDC on, so I'm well aware of how much throttle is required to get loose. It's a good thing to know, so you don't disable VDC to show off and end up getting in over your head.

Suuure. Blame it on the guy that revived the old thread...
Any car will spin out if you don't corner it correctly or you don't counter steer when traction is lost.
RWD is actually better because you can control the slide or counter the spin but don't practice that on the street please.

Gest, dont take this the wrong way, but this is obvioulsy your first RWD car. BAD decision. it drives me nuts seeing people say that its the "cars fault". nothing personal, but have to idea of what your talking about. this is NOT the cars falut. what you need to do is find someone who has a clue, and BEG them for lessons so you dont kill yourself, or someone that DOESNT deserve it. again, no offense, but sell your G, you scare me.

Welcome to the G35 driver forum. I also lost control of y G in the first week, and it is true that the G is a very agressive car, easy to lose control. But u will soon learn how to drive it. Now I always leave the VDC off except when it rains, it's a lotta fun man, but don't rush into things. Good luck with your G.
