The 180 is simple BUT DO NOT TRY THIS ON OPEN ROADS AND WITHOUT TRAINING.

drive car in reverse at top speed so weight is on front wheels

lock brakes and turn car hard so that the weight is transfered to the rear wheels but the car still wants to go inthe direction it was moving. since the weight is now on the rear wheels the car spins 180 deg.

engage forward gear and gun the engine

it takes a lot of practice. use an old car!
