drifting...

Drifting ON THE STREET is for irresponable idiots.

Do you do it Brad?

I do it in parking lots... The sentra is the best, it has winter tires on the front and worn down all seasons on the back, so all I have to do is turn in under heavy throttle, lift a bit, the back end starts to come around, then counter steer and plant it and I can hold a nice 45* angle.

What's wrong with doing 360s on snowy/icy parking lots? The speeds required are ridiculously low (5-15mph), the parkings themselves are usually surrounded by walls of snow, so it's even hard to crash the car, and it also serves as a reminder to get back the feeling how the car behaves in winter. Not to mention it doesn't rip the tires off

Few skids at 10mph on a parking lot always makes me slow down on the street for the very purpose of NOT doing it with other people around as I remember how easy it is to lose control of the car... Switching from a dry summer road grip is a surprise every fall.
Then again..it's Canada... :wink:

haha good call. In Michigan here so its usually snowy around this time of the year. So i have tons of fun sliding around my subdivision corners!

...and as i mentionned a while ago... the reverse-thrust-while-going-foward video is coming!!!!!!!!

:twisted:

i was almost banned and i never saw that vid :roll:

Drift is only a desirable effect when you are able to make a corner faster, usually in a loose traction environment. For many examples, go here:

'Drifting' for the sake of sliding around, and making your car slower so it will have less traction...while breaking everything on the car and killing tires...I'll never get it.

huh?

Pulling the E-brake while sliding around a snowy or icy empty parking lot is great fun and all should do it.

Trying to "drift" going 60MPH down a gravel road is pure stupidity.

Trying to "drift" going 60MPH down a gravel road with friends in the car could easily turn into reckless homicide. Don’t be a moron.
