you have to give us more to work with than an engine displacement

if it's RWD you can make it a drift car

the only way to get a car t go straight and keep the angle is to haveebough speed to use the ebrake, which will significantly kil the car's speed.

you'll see it most commonly used to "extend" extend a drift when cming in too shallow on a corner--extending the arch of the drift

don't worry about it too much yet--wait til you have the basics down

Thanks alot cfrost. I appreciate the prompt response. I am currently trying to extend the dration of my drifts. I find it harder on 90 deg then a 180 or J turns. TO drag a drift on a right angle is really tough. I am currently using clutch kick method. Any comments to improve?

it sounds like you just need to driftwith less angle, save extendingw/ ebrake for later--think of that as more of a fine tuning technique.

just practice lower angle
