Under-stand = understand.

Drive train = drivetrain.
If you're going to be a dick, at least do it right.

Try to get a video of you trying. I'd like to see this. If your in first gear above 3k rpm's the car just whips around. If your still having trouble, try the Dukes of Hazzard turn around. Go at a decent clip WHEN IT'S RAINING (Like 15 mph). Crank the wheel, whip the ebrake and push in the clutch. Don't touch the brakes.The car's back end will slide around and as you come around your headlights will be pointing where you came from. Just slip the clutch and take off in the opposite direction.

Don't know.

sticky fuking tires

. I can be around 4k in 1st gear mash the gas while turning the wheels, and instantly whip around. That is on dry pavement with 245/40/18's and coilovers. I don't know why you can't do donuts hmm...

I appreciate the help guys... this is insane, I better be able to do it!

I'll try to get a video up soon.

Thanks again.

next time i'm in the cities I'd gladly show you how to do them.

With your car of course!

the thing about the donuts in these cars is that its not immediate. the car kinda swings wide at first but if you stay in it it pulls in tight and just starts spinning.

Who's the idiot?! I'm the idiot!! lol

Check this out. So I have my dccd set so that I'm either in auto or if I press the button it would go to the full open setting (or so I thought). I decided to change the positioning of my seat for my next attempt at a donut and realized I had it set at one above full open!!! What the?!?! I couldn't see it completely because my seat was in it's lowest position and the boost gauge was blocking the last setting, which of course was full open! So my other attempts were never really in full open.

I now see how easy donuts are!! hahaha

Thanks for everyones participation in helping me figure this out. Even the a-holes! Thanks again!!
