dose anyone drift

[bluezx21999]

dose anyone drift with there zx2 not in the winter tho because everyone dose that

[00zx2s/r]

it's almost impossible to drift in the zx2 since its FWD. yes you can do it w/ the e-brake but you can't true drift.

One of the drifting schools in california would teach people how to drift with a ZX2(nick holgan from holgan knows best was in this show and learned on a zx2 i think). This is called e-brake drifting. I have done it and i only attemt when the roads are wet/snow covered. snowboardingny has some videos of him doing it in the snow.

[ZX2 Sleeper]

Oh and this would be best in the Spirted driving section.

[00zx2s/r]

i personally wouldn't consider e-brake drifting, to be true drifting like on G-4. It works but also wears out ur e-brake real fast...

[bluezx21999]

ya i cant really do it the good (e brake drifting) thats why i want to get a RWD 4 or maybe a 6 cyl

[ZX2 Sleeper]

rwd 4 cylinder? that leaves you with a mustang lx and an 80's corolla. lol

:wacko:

That's not a combination I'd want.

BMW 318i 92. check it out.

[bluezx21999]

240 sx!!

[mechtech]

I had a BMW 320i.
Drifting? You gotta be kidding. Maybe with another hundred HP.

[TTFOWIA]

I never said it could drift... I just replied to the "4cyl RWD" thing. and in the snow, of course you can :P

[ohstone]

If you want to drift in a 4cyl RWD car, get a Miata.

i have (e-brake) drifted many many many times in my z before and although many think its stupid, i enjoy the fun of it. Call me a noob id care. Its quite exiting and i helps you learn how to get control of your car in sliding/extreme situations. Il take anyone on in a fwd drift comp..... hahaha go ahead make fun of me its all in fun

ps. 270 reverse 180 turns and 360slides are the best.

Why don't people ever drift RWD V8 cars? Too much torque?

Uhhhhh. Falken Tires fields a Mustang GT in Formula D. And Rhys Millen used to drift a GTO. And Sear's Solstice is V8 powered... And there was a Viper in Formula D...

[2TonCat]

Sorry, maybee I should have been more specific.....

Why don't average joes pick a v8 car to drift with? Every time I hear someone wanting to get a car to drift with, it has to be an I4 or V6 and none of them can seem to explain why.

[00zx2s/r]

probably because of cost.

[Larka]

probably because of cost.

There you go. And because normal people who have V8s want to go forward, not sideways. The little Japanese I4s and V6s are what drifting started with, so the real JDM freaks like to stick with that.

[blue_2001]

i tried to ebrake drift once......cost me $150 to fix my car afterwards

[pdwighty]

people don't use v8's cuz they are heavy and torque sensitive unless modded right. You can pick up a mustang at a swap meet for $1500 but its extremely hard to controll drifts in a car like that. Most(not all) drift cars are just lightweight cars with a good suspension. Anything over 300whp is way to much to try to control exspecially for an amature. Its easier just to get a 4-6banger(already light) and redline the crap outa it than to deal with the torque play (and weight) on v8s.
Reason why rx7's and 240sx's are comon in drifting. Stiff suspension/redline happy/1200lbs stock

P.s. That formula D mustang gt (falken tire) car is driven by Drift Alliances JR Gitten who is exceptional in the sport and has also drifted an old camaro.

[zx2crazy]

zx2 drifting.

zx2 drifting.

zx2 e-brake sliding= possible
zx2 drifting= no
" " Possible ?= only if so much modification was done that noone would consider it a zx2 anymore

cuz they are big muscle cars in guess.

and you cant drift with a fwd car. its called ass sliding
