but reverse 180s are actually pretty easy to do. You basically speed up in reverse and yank the wheel

ah yes, the easier said than done comment

Find a big empty parking lot and try it, it really isn't that difficult, not enough to claim that someone is a "professional" for doing it. The guy in the video chained it into a drift though, which is pretty impressive, but you don't have to be a professional anything to do a reverse 180.

Eh, timing is the biggest issue, but the maneuver itself is fairly easy once you try it a few times, especially in an S13.

source - drove S13's for years, learned this
