Doing 360's in an automatic transmition. i have a way that i do it, but Is there another way?

Question

I can do 180's, reverse 180's and 360's in an automatic..
i drive a Toyota Camry.

when i do 360s on my Camry..i take allot of speed then spin the steering wheel really fast to the right then really fast to the left..until the back wheels kick out and loses traction..then when the car spins half way i use the E- brake to do the full 360..and keep going..

i did it a few times on the highway..with cars driving by..and i kept going..it was funny..my girlfriend kept screaming like crazy..but now she knows i have good control..now i do 360s while im still on the same lane..and keep going in traffic..and she has fun when i do it..she trusts me..

you should try it..

my question is that is there another way to do a 360?

if anyone can help me id really appreciate it
thanks

Answer 1

Ok, not only are you completely full of it, your a damned idiot too. No one with any sense is ever gonna believe you when you say you tried that bull on the highway, your punk *** would be dead you little shithead, and even the fact that you think you have tried it before goes to show how stupid you are. I mean seriously, what they hell are you thinking...dont tell me...let me guess "OH I'm sooooo Cool, I got this crappy little car and I'm gonna try to do this really cool stuff and get someone killed. " If you have tried that crap on the highway you would have wrecked, been thrown in jail for wreckless endangerment, and still be rotting your dumbass away in a celll you jackass.

And the way you claim you try it...yeah mmm.. thats a load of bull to kiddo, no chance, and no one believes you. if you were to do that, you would end up wrecked

And that little line about "my girlfriend knows i have good control" that too is a load of crap, if you were actually to be able to do what you are saying how you are saying, the only way to do it is to intentionally put yourself OUT of control of the vehicle, and trust me your punk *** wouldnt have the first clue on how to maintian control. So take your cockamamey bullshit stories somewhere else, this is a place for people who have real questions to get answers, not for some snot nosed little dumbass like you to bring his bullshit stories and try to impress the people he thinks are girls, tell you what, if you were my son, you wouldnt have to worry about that stupid ****, because after I got ahold of you, you wouldn't be able to sit in the driver seat of your car for a month. Go the hell away with your bullshit kiddo, no one wants to listen to it,

Answer 2

Doing a 180 or a 360, or anything else involving induced oversteer has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with either the drive wheels or the transmission. So the fact that you are doing it in a Camry is really no different than if you were doing it in any other car... though I think it's highly questionable that you are doing it! But first things first.

What you are doing is creating an exaggerated weight shift. You are loading your suspension in one direction, and then forcing your normal weight transfer, plus the shifted weight to both suddenly transfer the opposite way. You can accelerate the process by lifting or even tapping the brakes, but even the process of exaggerated turning as you describe could cause a shift in weight forward, leaving your rear wheels with even less traction and creating oversteer. You would have better control to do this with less exaggeration and use the throttle to control the front/rear weight transfer. I would find it easier to maintain control with the combination of stiff suspension and letting trailing throttle oversteer work it's magic... though still, in most cars with enough velocity to come all the way around for a full 360, there will be a period where you are simply a passenger in the car while you wait for the rotation process to slow the car enough to regain traction.

Which brings us back to the earlier part. The fact you are here asking this suggests you don't have the kind of knowledge of vehicle dynamics to have the kind of control you think you have. And if (very VERY big if), you did somehow manage to pull off a 360 while driving in traffic without damaging your's or other cars (and hurting someone), then you are lucky. Lottery winning kind of luck!

Exaggerated weight shift like you describe by "spinning" the wheel side to side is not something you can keep good control over. So if you imagine you have good control, you need to wake up. Nothing you descibed here has any hallmark of even poor control. It's just a lack of control... and if you did do this, and your GF trusts you, you might want to consider not dating the mentally retarded because that is just wrong!

Answer 3

A CAMRY???!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is that your car is a front wheel drive. You can't do proper 360's with anything less than a RWD (except in reverse). Sell the Camry, buy any RWD car and you will have greatly improve results. By the way you are crazy doing that and pulling the E-brake, however film it and put it on youtube. That is ******* hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! On the more serious side of things it is very dangerous and to be honest even though you feel you may, you don't have full control of the car. You may feel like you have like you have full control but you don't. You obviously have not had a catastrophic accident, like myself, yet. Smarten up dude. ( BUT FILM IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Answer 4

1st. Don't EVER do that with a girl in the car dumba**! That pisses me off. That was always my policy even back when I was a dimly lit like yourself.

2nd, return the Camry to your aunt's house or your great uncle's life partner, whichever the case, before they find out it's missing.

3rd, get a real car with some real balls and is RWD that's easy to throw around like a 6speed Trans-Am or something.
Then practice out in a field far away from innocent people.

Answer 5

This should be in the jokes section, except it's dangerous. Keep it on the track, with a real race car.

On a high way, with a passenger? I'd not only take your license, I'd make you have to work along the side of a high way, just so you'd appreciate it.

Answer 6

Crazy kid! I'll say a prayer for you tonight that you never kill anyone (yourself or anyone else).

Answer 7
