So I'm on another board talking about my FWD car and the subject of drifting came up. I contented that you really cant drift a FWD car.
Well thats what I thought until I saw this video ....LOL http://www.myf4c.org/temp/cv4.wmv I still dont understand the sport. Hey any 914 drift video's out there? |

any car can be made to oversteer, especially if (as in the case of that video) you are willing to lock and flatspot the rear tires by using the handbrake...

I saw a video one time of some guys in a parking lot going in reverse and then turning the front wheels to try and spin out. They kept going around and around in circles in reverse. Looked stupid and I couldn't figure out what they were trying to do. Then all of a sudden it hit me - they wanted to do donuts but had a FWD car - so they were trying to do it in reverse.
Ha Ha, didn't work too well. Demick |

Uuuuhhhhhhh, the only way most 914's are going to be doing any drifting anytime soon is with the aid of an e-brake. Actually, I take that back - most 914 e-brakes don't work well enough to induce a drift! Ducking for cover.... Demick |

I'm thinking the V8 conversion guys may have a new sport (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Maybe WCC 2006 we could include a V8 drift competition. Its about time we catch up with the cool car crowd scene. |

I was thinking the other night, as some ricer went by, a 911 with a V8 would be a perfect drift car. Nothing but power on oversteer and easy to control with the motor hangin' out the ass end.

Hey, with my completely-bald tires, I can get power-on oversteer in the first 2 gears easily! --In the rain...

Really? I thought the threshold between controlled slide and 180 is much tighter on a rear-engined car?? Maybe just my experience, but I've found front-engined (RWD of course) cars easiest to control slides in. I'm in this forum to learn from everyone's experience though, so I'm curious about this... |

No wait... it was a perfect 360, and you smoooooothly powered out of it in a nice fluid motion, right? Never say accidentally - you were just showing off!! The Mustang guys were just wishing they could pull of a move like that! Now they are afraid of that 911! |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I say we put that old recycled engine oil to good use and rig up a couple drip lines/valves... one into the exhaust tip for smoke screen, and another onto rear tires for drifting! |
