I usually drive 1000hp+ but in my other thread "nice shirt" gave me his settings for his RGT so I tried them with the lower horse power I think 428hp I found I can stay in the drifts a lot longer than with my 1028hp RGT does everyone find the same thing like the lower the horses the longer the drift??
 
it depends on waht your drifting and how fast you going for the drift. it aslo depends on your skill level.
 
you just have to know how to determine you angle of the car. a low power car tends to understeer. A high power will most likey oversteer so it will take throttle control or elso you drift wont last

I disagree, and I wonder where you get this information. The power matters not. The key is the tire to HP combo. As long as the tires are matched up properly with the HP, all, (like drivetrain cars), will act the same in a drift. This of course is only aplicable to those who understand throttle, brake, and countersteer control (AKA-Skill). ;)

i agree and i would like to add to this.
car weight is also a MAJOR factor in drift control and car speed. you can have a 228hp 4 door boat that does 0-60 in 9 seconds but then u take my buddys 1G CRX with 98hp does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds.
the lighter your car is the more nimble and agile it will be on the track.:D

Longer then what? I don't think you really understand what I said. Please clarify your question. ;)

Let me say this again: Match the HP with the tires. Stock to low power-sims, medium power-normals or sports (or slicks), and so on. Furthermore, what Akina said is just wrong pure and simple. The HP of a car has nothing to do with whether it will oversteer or not. If you have anymore questions, PM me.
