I own an 06 LS (should've bought an SS- don't ask what I was on) and was wondering if it would drift.
I have discovered that this seems to be a rather profane idea around owners, but I have driven RWD cars and I CAN drift them. So I'm not just some moronic teen that watches too many movies. however, I know that the LS has very little horsepower and is FWD. It's an auto, but transmission really doesn't make drifting methods too much different. so I was wondering if you could give me suggestions for getting this car sideways through turns. So far I have:
SWITCH IT TO RWD (this is really expensive though, I want to stay away from that)
Super/Turbo-charge it
loosen the rear suspension to help throw weight around
power slide it (this is not drifting though, it's just the same sorry attempt I see allover the school parking lot)
and (from some idiot) buy new rods and coils for the back end. wtf?
I know that FWD cars technically only power-slide, but is there a way to get this car genuinely sideways, or am I stuck like this::banghead:
