some questions about drifting

**Janky99** · 02-01-2004, 05:50 PM

Hey me and my freind got into an arguement about drifting, he tells me he drifts his toyota ceilca, i tell him you cant drift a front wheel drive car, its about impossible, i thought that when you used the e brake to attempt drifting, it was called powersliding with a front wheel drive car, not drifting, could someone clarify this for me? thanks alot -Ben

**Slash** · 02-01-2004, 06:19 PM

its not even powersliding with a FWD car.. its merely e-braking....

You cannot drift a front drive car with the same finesse and duration of a rear drive car.. I have yet to see any FWD cars that can consistantly slide for more than 2 minutes like some good D1 drivers in RWD cars.

hahaha.

you havent seen Y2JAY on trays then

**Slash** · 02-01-2004, 07:00 PM

i'd like to see y2jay or another FWD do 2-3 laps around a real track sideways the entire way.. no breaks to rebuild momentum...

The Champ is the best drifter around .

Plain and simple

I'm not saying it cant be done, I just need to be proved otherwise

Heck, I'd like to see a rwd car do that... I don't think anyone here in tampa has that kind of skill and power...
