Are power slides useful or are normal turns better? Incase i'm doign it wrong, how do you power slide? I do them by letting go of the gas, press the O button and turn...
Of cause the slide will be the faster way to turn.
Use downshif+break (not handbreak). You can hit gas repeatly if you are driving a FR car; a little for the 4WD; none for MR.
If the trun radius is larger than 130 degree, use handbreak will also help a lot.
