Thumbs up I lost my virginity tonight...

First donut in the SVX!!! I found the hugest unplowed parking lot (6 or 7 inches) on my way home from sledding (well tubing) so I decided to give it a shot...very sweet how the snow went woooooosh over the whole car...definitely needs to be repeated next storm!

Personal favorite of mine is the oh so tricky "figure 8" A person needs a fairly lagre parking lot. my neighbour hood home depot works just fine

the huge and small figure 8s are awesome... but my personal favorite is the "flat spin" donut... where you just stay in the exact same position, and rotate the car around... SOOO much fun, and only AWD cars can really do it

Naw, my old fiero did that...it was the only way it did donuts, used to piss me off that it would never move...just spin in place.

That may have been because the fierro had a mid mounted engine. Even weight distribution... Spin in place. The SVX is pretty even weight too. just a though.

"flat spin"

Fun

Do yourself a favor and never use those two words together around a pilot...

i love those spins. putting my two cents in, i call them doughnut holes. my buddy owns a camino and envys my doughnut hole capabilities. fun to drift circles around a nice piece of american beauty like an el camino
