Drifting in a Maro?

Anyone ever try it?

There was someoen at the AutoX here locally who was doing it in a Trans Am last year, it can def be done but alot more people see Camaros and domestics as Drag not Drift. You would def. need anice suspension setup for it, and lots of money for rubber.

Camaros are too clumsy (particualrily 3rd gen/older) and off-balanced.. yeah a $$$ suspension set-up, a lot of weight transfer and removal to help out the weight ratio..

I see trans ams autocrossing all the time, not sure if i would ever drift in one though. Not what they were built for, they were built for raw power, not finesse.

why would you want to drift in a camaro anyway

why would you want to drift period.

yeah quit being weird xeno

i love how everyone thinks that drifting is a japanese art, granted they made it a sport and do it with points and finesse, but any redneck who drives down dirt roads in a rear wheel drive car has been drifting for years. Ive been drifting my camaro around windy roads for years. granted i dont do it for as long as the "drifting" cars do, but shit, a camaro is a natural car for drifting because its high power, rear wheel drive, and inhearant instability.

But he was asking about drifting as a sport.... not driftin on country roads.... (everyones done drifting on country roads)

you guys ever seen that ghetto drifting video with those guys getting pulled on that power wheels kid car?

DUDe that kid on the corvette was awsome, Ima make my kid that when I have one :D

hey whats the link to that, it sound cool.

im not sure what the link is, does anyone else know? this is getting out of topic should we take it to the banter thread?

i've never found my car to be clumsy at all... it always does exactly what i think it will and it is easy to regain control in it... just by replacing the worn stock parts on the third gens you can get them to handle almost as well as some of the best japanese cars... compared to newer cars the third gen's only real draw back is that it doesn't have rack and pinion steering...

and ugly boxiness ;)

pesonally, i liked the boxiness of the 3rd gens.. i actually like the 3rd gen camaros better than the 4th gens, but the 4th gen firebirds/Trans Ams better than the 3rd..

^i agree completley with that one

:iamwithst

3rd and 4th gens are beautiful in their own ways,

ide take third gen body style over 2nd or 4th

but as much of a fan of camaros as i am, ide havto disagree with drvngstorm05's statement.. ive owned a lot of 3rd gens in my life, coupes, irocs and z28's.. and stock for stock ide have a hard time comparing 3rd gen handling to some of the middle class imports.. nevermind the "best" of the japanease..
you can get the 3rd gens to handle quite nicely but it requires more than replacing worn out parts..

drifting is for queers and steers, and i dont know too many cows that can drive a car...

really, i dont think i've ever seen a cow drive a car..

Completely uncalled for. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. :) :nono:

Xeno if you've never seen Full Metal Jacket shoot yourself in the foot then go watch it

that movie is great, go rent it or download it. I knew what you were talking about right when i read it

:nono: :nono: :nono: third gens rule :evillol: but that's my :2cents:

The comment was out of line imo irregardless if its from a movie or not. Havn't seen it, too busy to watch anything asides my bank account drop like a rock.

i have to agree, drifting is a sport, just like nascar, shit, all they do is drive around in circles all day, how exciting is that (sarcasm). I got my digs in, but i would never generalize a group such as that. Drifting to the degree that they do in competition requires a well built machine, and an excelent driver, both worthy of respect. It may not be whats up my ally, but its still impressive none the less.

If everyone followed that advice this forum would be dead.

Go have fun with your catamites, children. :grinno:

this might sound like BS but i swear to god i've made up to $1400 an hr for the company.... my yearly income depends on what kinds of jobs i get so it fluctuates and im still in school....

we should do a poll to see how much p@$#y our cars gets us.

Wow this got offtopic mighty quick.

Been off topic since page one.

1400 an hr, thats impressive even if it is BS. Still, keep up the work, not many people our age keep a good business.

i agree.. maybe we should quit being assholes and think about drifting again.. lol although drifting sucks my ass

Just because you hate it doesn't mean the world hates it too.

"MARCUS'S TAKE ON THE WORLD" ...... I like it..... kinda catchy..... lol

:eek7: :screwy:
:smokin: Go for it.

we can take over the world.. sounds like fun
