hhahahahaahha, well to answer your question, no, but you could go ahead and try but you wont get anywhere, the trick about drifting is its gotta be rwd, awd can work but not well, modified to drift, i guess if you wana be insane and convert to rwd, but that car makes almost no power from the start so it would be pointless.

Ok im tired of this bullshit about FWD cars not drifting...its bullshit no they cant powerover through a corner like some lame ass attempt to be a real drifter and get your ass end out a little bit on the corner exit. To properly drift a FF car you really have to use weight distribution and movement to move the cars ass around. its much more finese. granted most of it uses an Ebrake but thats just in helping control the car, and besides even the d1 drivers use them. REGARDLESS FF cars drift. not sustaned but they can lose rear grip and oversteer a corner(drifting) and mostly at low speeds, but some short high speeds are possible.

read this CAREFULLY

stop playing yourself, FF cars CANNOT drift like D1 or Formula D cars can . Can't happen no way no how definitely not.

but: if you are talking about a four wheel drift, then yes they can.

its a matter of definition.

ugh its just a matter of pull and push guys. You would never be able to pull off a great drift in an FF on dry pavement.

In rwd you push the car and its MUCH easier to oversteer. You can do ebrake slides but they will never be true drifts.

That guy in the video could not get the car sideways without wet pavement in that video and also messed up a few times as well. Its actually pretty easy to pull off the stuff he was doing.

WHEN did i ever say they drift like d1 cars?

i've got no problem with you or anything like that, im not even trying to embarass or just piss off, but you saying you can get your car sideways on dry pavement isn't really saying much, plus just because a d1 driver would use an ff car, doesn't mean it is a good drifter, there hasn't really been any ff that has drifted well in competition, but i dont know, maybe they need to start opening different classes of drifting, ff, rwd, and possibly awd drifting, but i dunno just a thought....

depends on everyone's definiton of drifting...

as for the matrix... you could prolly get ii goin sideways very easily but with that kind of body (having the COG up there) it would most likely tip over or just have some insane body roll to abruptly stop any dori dori action. lolz... gluck.

actually a guy in Hawaii won a drifting comp. there with his red honda civic hatchback. o0 so it is possible to win a drifting comp. with a FF car =) +)

Oh, well first off, there was a red honda that could drift in Initial D right so FF must be very capable of drifting. :cwm27:

Basically, there are numerous techniques used for drifting. I'm not going to describe them all, those who are curious will have to go out and buy the drift bible. Braking is the most important thing for an ff drift (ebrake if you will). That is about the extent of what the FF can drift with. You can't clutch kick into a drift, you can't power over, you can't perform a feint etc etc. Why? Because the car will understeer (FWD). It is all well and good to say an FF can drift and by your definition I'm sure it can. In my eyes though, the FF is a very limited platform to drift with. For more variety in technique, go rwd.

my last post in this thing was months ago, how is it still up here?
