Drifting: Fact or Fiction

[Erik]

Thrash, you can go ahead and reply when we have a thread on skateboarding or whatever Thrashers do. Better yet, create your own.

i think you just want to interview the boy to become a member of CV...

1. because of his fwd drifting skillz
2. because he's "slow" like the rest of the members of CV

[Erik]

Fast is played out, lets face it.

Thanks for the compliment. :icon_thumleft:

[Erik]

If CV = slow, and drifting = slow, then CV = DRIFT KINGS

[RidinRails]

correction....fwd drift kings

[assasain]

you can't compare drifting to a movie fool

[Erik]

Fact: Over half of CV isn't FWD.

Finally, I get the win I deserve.

LETS TRY TO KEEP THIS DRIFTING DISCUSSION ON TOPIC!

drifting=lame

why waste good tires

Fact: The drift king is a robot put on this planet to make kids crash cars.

Earths phyicis do not apply to him.

Fact: Lincoln Continentals make the best drift cars due to large V8's and superior luxury.

Myth: Drifting can be done on flat land.

Stage Rally cars seem to have e-brakes on the dash but what they're doing is much more frantic than most drift drivers i see. I don't see a lot of dash-e-brake conversions on drift cars from watching stuff like BEST Motoring, Hot Version, etc.

Last time i checked stage rally cars come in so many divisions that i'm not sure which you're refering to. But all modified divisions use hydrolic e-brakes set in the stock position because they have to. They cannot mount anything on the dash that is not a a pre-existing stock space, also, while the braking compounds and components are open, <u>placement is not</u>. you cannot even move your brake petal for better fitment of a driver. also, many stage rally classes will not even let you remove your ABS sensor, only disconnect it.

I don't even want to get started on this arguement. I stated my opinion in the SDDRIFT thread.

Drifting is to racing as much as the WWF is to MMA.

Both require well trained athletes (or high perf cars), both require skill and technique, but one is all show, the other is not.

Sorry - I was thinking of the in-car WRC footage you see. Those have hand brake handles that are right up next to the steering wheel. Obviously different classes/preparation levels have different restrictions.

For that matter, i don't know that the e-brake mechanism/location is in a different spot on the WRC car, only that that on some of them the handle is right by the steering wheel. Maybe its a really long lever going to the stock mechanism?

that is what some drifters do
