How it works.. Our ProSpec Drift Day is a rare opportunity to be in command of a 600HP pro-level drift car. You choose between our ProSpec LS-powered 350Z or the Turbocharged 2JZ S14.9. This is a private coaching day with one of our Professional Drift Instructors to push your skills to the absolute limit with raw power and high levels of grip. It requires mastery from our Drift Pro or Drift+ Elite course (or equivalent experience) with instructor approval. Your day starts with structured practice exercises in our custom-built 350Z school cars to build muscle memory and learn some new techniques. Throughout the day, you’ll dive deep into advanced skills like handbrake initiation, clutch kicks, feints, left foot braking, throttle control, extended drift wall rides, and high-speed transitions. Together we will aim for you to master the perfect line and learn how to use the car’s mechanical grip to boost speed through every transition. Once you are warmed up, we will make the change over to the Pro Car. You will gain insights into competition criteria and grip management. You will work in and out of the car with your pro coach to get you to the next level at an expedited rate. Included in this package is a free drone video of your day showing off your progression and smoking tires. Included is all the gas and two sets of professional spec drifting tires. Some students are ‘rippers’ and choose to burn and buy more tires, and that’s ok, we have a separate rate for extra tires! This is your chance to feel the rush of a true Formula Drift Competition Car and experience drifting intensity like never before. There is nothing else like this anywhere.
