can all cars do drifting?

ditzy SG

Yes, contrary to some beliefs, all cars with the proper techniques can drift.

jiayong SG

some can hold a drift longer and with more ease.

some cannot...can only drift short distances with the use of handbrakes.

Best setup for drifting: FR/MR/RR

Best car for drifting: AE86 (hachiroku!!)

Juz my thots... Wink

tailslide SG

eh, not really. mine dun use handbrakes also can. Mr. Green

Reutral SG

Rear wheel drive cars would be better for drifting as it oversteers comparing to Front wheel drive cars which understeers.
Proper LSD is also needed.

tailslide SG

to be precise, a FR/MR/RR car tends to oversteer. an FF and some 4WDs tend to understeer. how ur car behave is directly linked to the drivers response in a weight transfer situation (ie in a corner) as well as the natural characteristics of the car.

LSD is actually not ideal for drifting as it helps in the torque transfer when it senses a slip in any one wheel. in drifting, the wheels need to lose grip/ slip in order to do a drift, so having the LSD would require more skill (and balls) to make a car drift. Mr. Green

DUN EVEN TINK ABOUT IT ON A PUBLIC ROAD !! Evil or Very Mad

why must drift? I was hit by a farking car driver who tried some drifting stunt and shattered my shin bone...ccb.....insurance pay aso no use..now right leg shorter for life.
Drift oredi got ppl clap anot? kenna accident curse ur forefathers 18 generation...
Why drift and wear our ur tyres early then tyres botak must change b4 inspection?
Wan to drift big time? heavy rain time run thru a puddle of water at 110km/h++ and pull handbrake..drift plus hydro planning (aqua effect)..hopes it kills me to serve as a warning to others...thats the way I tried to end my life when I found that i had to walk like a cripple with a shorter right leg for the rest of my life...lost my sports life and now end up working with gals in an office jobs.....knn Evil or Very Mad

You mastered dynamic/power drifting har? Even the drift king of Japan don't dare to claim number 2. Laughing

KhidMasAE86 SG

sorry to hear that...but tough luck...wrong place at the wrong time...

HIRA SG

that sucks.... Sad

Praetorian111 SG

I think mine need handbrakes in order to drift.... almost impossible to do it..... Nv try be4... maybe if I try u will see a topple turtle.... Laughing

tailslide SG

dun need so chim lah, juz go fast enough and drop gear before entering the corner without doing heel-toe and turn sharply. the tail confirm come loose. Twisted Evil

or while negotiating the turn, juz lift off the accelerator abruptly at hi rpm. now only need to apply a bit of counter steer....

trust me..... happened before.

bo liao SG

drifting dun anyhow play unless u can really control.....must check ground condition...

dunno any1 from here got go last year the Yokohama Auto Challenge, got the japan the wat drift king"(manabo orido)

at the 2nd day, when even finish,.it was raining liao...got a 4get red or blue s15, play drifting near the tent bank its rear against the stone ...but the driver cannot "sia sway" dun care still drift & drift...ground condition is important..ur car can be te best, tires can be te best,can even better den SO2 but.....if when drifting, on those places tat hv stones or watever shit,the tires also cannot grip on te surface mah...get wat i mean?it contact wid those stones or etc mah........

bmw_lover SG

drifiting works better for cars with RWD right?

the Bear SG

whoever tries this on a public road should get his license suspended for life and his ass thrown in the slammer for a few days...

and if they're dumb enough to try it with a high CG vehicle, maybe it's a Darwin Award waiting to happen...

yes all cars can drift. but drifting is for showmanship purposes only. when i do it, i do it for fun. during races we try to eliminate any drifting because it wears out tyres faster and is a very slow way to corner. on the roads, pls dun do it, because, like i said, its dangerous. for all drift fans, do check out the D1 drift series, where the competitiors drift on specially prepared circuits, and are judged on style and not speed.

bmw_lover SG

why is drifting slower than a normal turn at a corner?

ditzy SG

Its seems slower, but the entry and exit in and out of a corner is the minimal loss of power. Meaning you can accelerate out faster than a normal turn.
