Who else thinks drifting is pointless...raise your hand....

Drifting sucks and is not a legitimate form of motorsports....It's like water ballet is to competitive swimming... :rolleyes:

You can't tell me it wouldn't be fun to go around a track at least one trying to slide the car around the corners.


Yes I can....I'd have more fun keeping all 4 tires in traction and putting the power down and getting around that course as fast as I could....you can keep your "style points"

Honestly I love sliding corners but controlling it just for tire smoke to win some cash. I'd rather lose in a pink slip race. Plus drifting is legal. Powersliding is more fun for the rush and the fact that you have to try and gain control or your going into the curb.

If I won that thing I would sell it and put the profits to good use.  What an abomination of a fine automobile! :yuck:  :toilet:  :barf:

I concur, drifting is pretty ghey. My brother has a 240SX and is all about the drifting junk...and yeah, I don't really get it. I'd much rather watch brackets than a drifting competition.

I'd rather have something I could use on the street. Drifting, no use. High speed cornering, no use. Acceleration/braking, plenty of use (especially with how many times lately people have began turning into my lane without looking). Even more true now that it seems everyone's driving 10 under the speedlimit on highways this summer (between ~9am-8pm, where its faster before/after those hours)

I know the guy in the El Camino, his name is Mike and he is form Houston. I met him at the race track here in La. at an open road course and drift session, he was a interesting person to talk to and a really good driver. His has a suppercharged LS1 in that thing and it hauls azz........and burns alot of rubber to!

This is like nascar guys arguing with F1 Guys.  Left turn guys vs road course guys.

I've tried a lil drifiting in a racing simulator.  Harder than it looks :P

Maybe it's mounted upside-down, so it actually lifts the rear end off the ground.  :grinno:
