Which is better? Long, fluid feinting(tankspanker's specialty) or sharp, snap feints(my personal favorite)? I find that snap feints yield a whole lot of angle quickly but with much danger, as the car can easily spin out.

Snap Feint? what the..

Snap Feint: Bam, Bam, slide the car from side to side REALLY quickly in short, sharp movements. Watch "Fury of the Storm" to see it.

Long Feint: Slow swerve to one side, then slow swerve into the turn, breaking the rear tires loose nice and easy. Watch TankSpanker's "Tip the Scale" to see that.
 
Well in answer to your question: "Long Feint Drifts" are better, Much more classier drift

Evidence:

Longer Feints, require much more skill.. Timing is critical in this instance, (swaying into corner) because having the wrong line will lead you off the road. Precise throttle and countersteer control, is cruical, either one can lead to understeer or oversteer. and when done properly it will lead to a perfectly obtained drift leaving you with much more satisfaction.

Opposed to "Snap Feint" (if there is such thing).
Where timing is done a split second before the corner, a jerk of the steering left and right.. into the corner with wrong line, full countersteer, full throttle.. edventually leaving you in a spin or leaving the corner short.

BTW: Nothing about Feint is slow.

nicely said
..the longer the drift the harder it is..

Very well put. Also, the unstability of "Snap Feint" is such that I have found it needs to be used in conjunction with braking. :indiff:
 
Ive done both types (at least i think i have) and i like the longer fluid ones, as they look classy. Snap feints are hard to do as the car gains angle very quickly and is so easy to spin.
 
I use both depending on the situation. The first corner on Infineon Raceway is a classic example of a corner that is better be taken with a long, smooth feint drift. On the other hand, I usually take the S-bends late in the track with short snap feints. It really depends on the corner (and the car you're using).
 
when feint drifting it is probably best to keep everything fluid and its all really about controlling the shifting weight of the car in the drift.. as opposed to jerky sudden movements that require a lot more reaction/countersteer work if you yank the wheel a bit too much when initiating the feint... although the latter technique works very well for many people, however i like to keep it all smooth... so yes back to my point controlling the shifting weight is essential in the feint drift technique..
 
tip the scale vid? no, there's not much feinting there - infact, the drifts there are garbage. hehe, the S14 was on R tires (dont ask me why... hehe)
Centrifuge 3 has some of that though, i think that's what you meant.

...i guess there's no point on elaborating what i do. I prefer the big swoopy line where applicable. But where sace is limited, (or if im on the DFP) i dont require to use as much trackspace.
 
hmmm, well, me, I throw the car opposite ways of the corner WAY before the turn, almost in essence doing two drifts for one corner..... pretty cool huh?
 
It all depends on the corner for me. If it's a short tight corner. Snap or quick feint. If it's a sweeping corner I usally use more brake drifting to keep the angle down as to not loose speed/momentum.

👍

Correct!...

Every technique has a purpose in some situations...





;)
 
Depends on where. Also if you don't have much space you have to do a snap feint, but if you have a nice long straight away, why not do a long fient.(You get more forward momentum with a long feint. You have to be going kind of slow to pull off a quick snap feint.)
 
I consider a visible feint a last resort, used when the car or line demands a certain type of entry (like needing to scrub speed). I feel that large feints tend to take away excitement from an agressive entry, mainly because it scrubs off speed.

No really, I was talking about Tip the Scale. Yes, I saw centrifuge 3.
 
Well, I use them both depending on the corner...

Slow 2nd gear bend, "snap feint" to get angle to get around, but I do this at speed to carry the corner...

Longer 3rd/4th/5th gear bends, smooth long feints with subtle movement...
 
hay guys new 2 the site i have a bit of a problem with tank slappers utha than that my drifts are good except the 2nd gear 1s they gard i drive a 600hp f6 typhoon ford a 500hp sil80 and 500 hp fd rx7
 
driveanyway =p

English please... Punctuation wouldn't hurt either...

Well, back to feint drifting, I run my 200hp AE86 on Autumn Ring (Great place to learn, as well as to get real technical), and on the last corner of the track, as well as anything 90 degrees and up, I do a quick snap feint. Done with the Driving Force Pro. Great stuff. Feint and Inertia refer to the same thing right? I like saying Inertia better. It's Initial D's fault.

Ohhhhh snap. I personally like to call it the Kansei Dori but we all know how us Professional Drifters don't refer to Initial D... :nervous:
 
like ive said before STOP MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT ID!
refering to ID is not looked down upon....its just annoying when you start putting random eurobeat song lyrics and names in your post for no reason etc...

n35qụ1k: yup their the same

driveanyway =p: well if you hav that much hp im guessing you have a pretty damn big turbo....a big turbo means you have big turbo lag which will result in low revving on low gears...you need a smaller turbo to keep revs high on 2nd gear corners....personally i never buy a turbo greater than stage 1
