was just wondering if anyone on this forum has drifted a car in real life if so how does it feel? isit more fun than the gt4 drifting?
 
Is driving a real car 150mph more fun that sitting in your favorite chair holding a controller watching a car go 150mph?
 
Are tires hard, even though they're made of rubber?
 
I live in Michigan, and we have this magical form of precipitation from October to March called snow. When the snow comes, it often makes the roads slippery, and cars often spin off the road...

Considering that this weather had been hapening since cars were being made, I suppose we were drifting first all the way back in the late 1800s...

Is it fun? Sure... What isnt fun about driving your car like a crazed maniac? But it is so old around here, nobody cares about drifting...

So far this year Ive been "drifting" in:
1996 Volkswagen Jetta
2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
1996 Chevrolet Impala SS
 
Snow drifting is a way of life in Michigan, hell when it snows me and my buds head to the biggest open parking lot and drift.
 
Being from Canada, this is prime time for snow drifting! Done it in my gf's ECHO Hatchback and Focus ZX5... but only on wide roads with no cars or people around, just in case.

Yes it's fun, and in snow, it's faster to drift around turns than to slow down and take them normally.
...as long as you make it out the other side. Which is not a foregone conclusion by any means.

Yeah, i know. When i got to drive in snow, i practiced my drifting in a parking lot, then when there's no one on th estreet, i'd drift around turns. Not when there's other cars though.
 
Meh. When there's snow on the ground, if you have a RWD it's so easy to kick out the tail for a few seconds that you can do it pretty much anywhere.

Whenever there's snow or rain, I "drift" all the time in traffic, but I save my drifting for parking lots and abandoned roads.
 
Haha...south east Michigan is slated to get 4-7 tonight. I think I need to go practice my sideways drive abilities :D.
