I'm from the rally background so I like to go 100 sideways on gravel roads 2 feet from trees

100 sideways? km or mph? Because that's 160kmph and WRC drivers don't even do that at 160... most start their braking at 160 to get down to 100km ish depending on the turn. And to be sideways, you should be having a hard turn coming up, and you need to scrub off a lot more speed than trying to take the turn at 60/65mph...

Now, just upsetting the car a little and improving the angle of attack while scrubbing speed, while keeping the revs up (and tires spinning on the gravel making the tach go higher... then I can see that... but sideways? Hardly.

Just sayin.

I'd love to see a video of someone going sideways at 100mph in the woods at a rally. Heck, I even went to WRC Finland, and didn't see anything like that... nor in my 9 years of following WRC.
