as an xb fan, I just wanted to know if there were any perks of owning a tc'.. can you people drift in that thing?

 

You can pull the ebrake and slide sideways. Deffinetly not drifting tho.

 

well that settles it.. tc's rock too.

 

wtf?

 

not many people are pushing enough power to drift a tC...probably just jersymike/travis/zpi/dezod are about the only ones who can attempt it.

 

awwwww, not you peteyd?

 

You can have 600 hp and not "drift"

First, there is the actual original "drift" which is a cornering maneuver of slightly pushing the rear end out using the power of the engine... RWD

Then there is the burn the tires off and slide the car around fast and furious drifting sport (Ok, it is fun to do and takes skill.. but I hardly call it a real sport.. just my opinion though) ... still a RWD thing..

On a FWD all you are doing is @$$ dragging. And it takes little power to do it. I can go out and get up to speed and use the ebrake to put the car sideways.. power the car to keep it there.. whip it around.. whatever.. but you are still just sliding. Mainly just wasting your rear tires.

So no.. you cant "drift" a tC any more than you can an xB, an rxs or any other fwd car for that matter.

 

Well put. Doesnt it suck what movies can do to peoples beliefs?

 

mcdonalds trays anyone?

 

i need to find the vid of the dude who drifts the civic profeionally. hes won quite a few competitions as well.

 

I tried. About hit a telephone pole doing about 35. It is very hard to control. Anyways our cars are Fwd and not supposed to drift. Dont do it, you will wreck ur car.

 

Everything is possible.

 

yup anything is possible! it was actually kinda cool its an older asian dude.

 

whether or not a guy did it.. it is still not drifting. The term came from racing. On a long, sweeping corner, you come in a little hot, and power it enough so that the rear end begins to drift a LITTLE.. as a matter of fact, many times you barely hear the squeal.. it is not a huge, tire smoking thing. That would lose too much energy. You power it out a little, keeping the power on so the rear wheels are pushing you back down the turn. Saving you from the hot entry. The "sport" of drifting is simply an exageration of that in more of a show fashion.

 

But with many hours of practice.

 

And someone elses car

 

That or Free tires and a huge parkin lot.

 

Hell ya, i do m@d drifto in the school parking lot, the same one that they kick us out during football games for visitors. Yes, kick out the paying students and let the visitors park. *kickout = ticket* Hmm.. besides butt dragging, is it also "power sliding" or is that just a term for rwd cars, i forgot.

 

I know that. But it's fun to get a little e-brake action every once and a while and call it drifting.

 

yes... a good way to ruin a nice car...smart
