Can FWD cars drift, or does drifting imply powersliding? Anonymous 04/07/11(Thu)23:07 No.4529436

This thread is about your opinion. Don't act like your opinion is a fact. If you insult someone else's opinion, you pretty much admit you have no valid argument.

Definition of drifting from Wikipedia
"Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed."

Drifting Implies you're a faggot, so I guess FWD is a perfect match.

Op Opinion:

I think powersliding implies the use of power to slide. Obviously, this can only be done with RWD vehicles.

I believe drifting is a broader definition that includes a controlled slide of any vehicle, even an unpowered car.

You ever seen a fwd wheel drive doing a burnout? Looks like a fucking merry go round.

I can kinda drift my mazda 3. I just have to turn sharply at a fairly high speed and as I come out of the corner the back end loses grip and slides. Being a FWD though the car basically auto corrects itself in less than a second.

So, holding a good drift in a FWD car seems nearly impossible.

fwd wheel drive = forward wheel drive

problem?

Anyone that thinks drifting can be done through with a FWD car doesn't actually understand what drifting is. Read some articles and learn physics, you'll learn why. There is literally no room for saying >Don't act like your opinion is a fact.
that's like saying don't act like gravity is fact.

by the definition from wiki, you can drift in a FWD car.

>>4529551
The dynamics of it, not the definition. FWD cars cannot
>maintain vehicle control and a high exit speed.
take physics

also I am 90% sure OP is trollin, but there are people that actually think FWD is driftable.

Yes,
a. hydroplaning
b. on snow

And no, pulling your e-brake is not drifting.

Here is a video of a Civic oversteering and maintaining control and a high exit speed.

>done already a bunch of times
>herp hurr durr

The Civic in op pic was built for drifting.
FWD drift cars have been done multiple times already, it just takes someone who actually knows what the fuck they're doing to build one and money. that too.

It will remain a novelty and RWD will always be better for said application.

Also yes, I have seen these cars. They have a lot more going on than just FWD and e-brake bullshit by the way. Unfortunately those coming to this thread in hopes of being able to drift their mom's civic are not going to have any luck.

1. I know, that's what the slash denotes.
2. Only used in rally? Do the laws of physics change when you leave a rally to make feint drifting impossible?

What are your opinions on the subject?
