I don't understand why people that aren't into drifting feel the need to come in and ask questions yet refuse to understand why we like drifting. We do it for the same reasons we or others auto-x, road race, and drag race.

the world isn't entirely a simple math problem. In a drift event, you are on and off the throttle, sustained high RPM low speed (no air movement through the engine bay), on the brakes hard, burning the piss out of your tires, tossing the weight of the car around (more stress on the unibody). Need I go on? I'd LOVE to drift, but I won't tear my car up.
So what, the weight gets tossed around.We were talking about driveline components not bushings. You have air coming through the engine bay also.It might not be as much as a 9 second car but it still gets air .You arent on the brakes hard either.You just cant drift, that is all. You are on the brakes hard only if you cannot drive the course at its intended speed .You shouldn't need brakes on any drift course if you are good enough to know the speed it takes into it, leaving a turn for thenext and into that one so on and so on.

And like I said before, not always burning the piss out of your tires. I hardly killed any tread off mine.I know my car doesn't make a shit load of power nor is it turbo'd but then again we are talking about drifting period and not 300 hp cars killing tires, just killing tires. So with that said, go and press on if you wish to further induce more of your knowledge to a sport you dont understand.

Trust me guys, I'm on your side really. I love watching people drifting and tearing shit up in NFS Underground, its just thats where it will stay with me. I would do it in the rain because its far less stressful on the engine and tires, but in the dry, no thanks.
Drifting in the rain is ok, kinda gay if you really want my oppinion. You lose control way to easy, cant hardly get in the throttle and expect to recover like you would when it is dry.

Dry conditions are just much better for nice clean runs.
