Its difficult to DISABLE the e-brake... but if your goin for a plain ol outta control spin... its not all that hard to stomp on the sucker.

Dont do it around a corner on a track though

BIG EMPTY PARKING LOTS ONLY

That's the one thing I didn't realize until after I bought the car -- no handbrake. BUT, I'm starting to master the foot powerslide -- just like a bigwheel when you were a kid!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

It's just as fun in rain....man watching the world spin around you is fun...... I must admit going from handbrake to a footbrake for uhhhh "emergency manuvers...." was a little off at first...especially disengaging.....that can be a little dicey.
