Nah .. select 2nd / sports mode  ... just leave it there ... FUN TIME  :)

Turn off the torque converter so it doesn't feel like your propshaft is made of rubber? Oh I forgot, you can't! Best leave the drifting to those of us with real gearboxes then ;)

No, but to do it properly with full control you do! A big ass rubber band between the throttle and rear wheels is hardly going to be beneficial to controlling the amount of slip.

Torque converters == evil :y

Can we take a hint, (Any B's post) the auto over manual will never agree, mainly cos most manual drivers do not know how to use an auto box. No Daf's = no rubber bands. ;D ;D ;D

I do know how they work... the rubber band thing is an analogy

Oh and it would probably be better if it was actually rubber, you would get less slippage (and as such slack between accelerate and decelerate points) than you do with viscous fluid!
