Do you consider this drifting?

Misthael · 03-29-2004, 10:50 AM

Here's a DSM "drifting." I don't personally consider that drifting. But maybe I'll change my mind after I hear everybody else's opinions.

if its ff and you were pullin on the e brake,then its *Censored**Censored**Censored* dragg style of drifto.but if its a awd and your end gets loose hell yea

Misthael · 03-29-2004, 11:12 AM

I'm pretty sure that's FF

Ghost of Duluth · 03-29-2004, 11:13 AM

Only one I didn't see Drifting in that vid was the 240.

nissanguy_24 · 03-29-2004, 11:23 AM

i cant really judge the drifting, the angles were so low, and for so short of a time that it wasnt very impessive, also the camera angle kindof sucked.

Coiloverkid · 03-29-2004, 11:41 AM

it's not FF...thats a 4WD talon turbo

Drift For Food · 03-29-2004, 11:44 AM

For short corners like that and with a fwd, you can't do much else than that, well at least if you want to maintain speed. He does what I mostly do with my Ranger, although mine's rwd. I've got primarily 90's and for the most part just brake drift into and throttle through. I maintail a shallow drift angle cause my pos truck doesn't have the power to maintain higher angles. It looks a lot like that, lol. I'd consider it drifting although a bit short-lived. I'd suggest to him maybe be a little more brave. With a fwd, you can come in a bit hotter, get it sideways a little earlier, maybe feint a little.

^ edit ^ awd

Oddly, it behaves much like a fwd car. Perhaps he needs to do a little suspension work to get it a little more drift friendly. Either that, or he's not really trying to drift much, rather light drifting to keep speed up.

How can you tell it's AWD? Just curious.

P.S. I like Talons. They make good drag cars.

i have no idea if it was 2 or 4wd but it was pretty cool
had a weird little intercooler though, or it was a front mount intake

what the heck is "dragg style drifto"???

driftfreak · 03-29-2004, 05:37 PM

all that is, is just weak sauce grabbing the e-break around the corner..any monkey can do that..

driftxtreem · 03-29-2004, 05:56 PM

looked like some dude drivin around a trak havin fun and being safe. maybe thats what it was supposed to be.

Sliding_S14 · 03-29-2004, 08:15 PM

looked like he just broke traction to me. i consider drifting more of controlling the car in a slide through out a turn. he was sliding and turning but dosent seem like traction was broke more then a couple feet and regained traction. just my 2cents i cant drift but workin on improving.

Feint · 03-30-2004, 04:09 AM

You really can't get good drifts in a DSM,it's a little hard when your car's front-biased.Getting any DSM sideways is hard,I remember when Bai took someones AWD DSM and tried to drift it,he didn't get a really good drift.Considering he's a professional,I take it that's not the easiest car to get sideways and keep.

sil180sx · 03-30-2004, 05:12 AM

first off fwd or awd didnt mean *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* there cuz that guy wasnt drifting.... to me drifting is gettin sideways way before the turn even starts. that guy looked like he was just driving around a track

Drift For Food · 03-30-2004, 01:21 PM

It kind of depends if it's more of a show style of drifting or a race style of drifting. If his goal was to maintain speed, he may not drift much. If he wanted show, you'd probably see him sideways quite a bit, but he'd be a little slow. It's a matter of what HIS intentions were.

nissanguy_24 · 03-30-2004, 01:23 PM

regardless of the quality of drifting, the video sucked, shot poorly very very short. it was like 40 seconds stretched to 60.

It was dumb. you can barely even see what little drifting there is to be had because the camera angle sucked.

Ghost of Duluth · 03-30-2004, 03:32 PM

If Drifting is only Drifting if you get sideways before the turn then not much Drifting impresses you does it.

Also if any monkey can do the E-brake yank, then video tape yourself doing it. It isn't near as easy to hold it with E-brake as you think. I especially want to see the video of you sticking the rear end into a ditch. That's gonna be a good one.

driftfreak · 03-30-2004, 06:57 PM

next time i go to a track event ill get some vids of me..
i wont do it when im on the street..cause to many people here will cry bout that.

03-30-2004, 07:09 PM

didnt consider it drfting at all. i agree that the slide comes before the turn. also, for Misthael, TSi turbo talons only come AWD.

QuickStyle · 03-30-2004, 07:31 PM

i consider it drifting. he just sucks, thats all. everyone starts somewhere, right? at least he's trying. im willing to bet he is better than alot of people on this forum....

I second that, he is probably better than MOST people on this forum.

You can clearly see that drifting--in this video--is much slower than grip driving would have been......

cusco_lsd · 03-30-2004, 09:20 PM

i dont really like the dsm movement but that guys read end was out and u can clearly see his tires spins and smoke coming off them now he didnt carry the drift that well thru the turn but like ssome other people said atleast he has balls to try to dirft awd u have to go decently fast to do so.. so yeha

Thanks. That's good to know, but how can you tell it's a TSi? There's a TSi in Owasso that goes to the test and tune drags occasionally. Not any good though.

that smoke is because both the car is sliding tail out and because he is yanking the e-break and there not moving...
