Giday guys.

I havent had my T ute for long and am somewhat new to driving an auto.

- Have always been a manual man.

Just a few questions with kicking out the rear with the ZF...

I always have traction control off (well derrr)

But I find that sometimes the car will hit a rev limiter and lose all power.. destroying any power slide that starts.

I haven't played around with it too much yet as I am somewhat scared sliding a $37k car, especially as now its my only one.

Do most people do it in tiptronic mode?

Any help, cheers.. I suck.

When I constantly stuff it up I keep kicking myself for not buying a manual.

But then when im roasting someone down the straight I remember why I bought the ZF lol :buttonit:

(btw, I am not endorsing dangerous driving n all that jazz)

To drift you need clutch control, there is no doubt about it. If you wish to powerslide, just make sure you control it so you dont hit the limiter. Being that the ratios are quite close I reckon you will have a fair bit of difficulty unless you are doing a bit of speed and manage to break traction holding 3rd.
