Unlikely Drift/Powerslide Cars

[Machate-man]

Powerslides are easily achieved in FF or 4WD with:

1. Negative toe (in rear)
2. lower grip tyres in back
3. rear ballast
4. E-brake

Unlikely powerslide/drift cars... smells familiar... Unlikely drift machineThat thread was deep in the forgotten realm of the drift subforum.

As for the question...
RWD would be plymouth superbird. Took a lot of tuning, but i am yet to see anyone else sideways in a silver chrome superbird.
4WD would be the Mazda Attenza race car, so very cool to look at and such a controllable Gymkhana car 👍
FWD um... my focus ST understeers with a lot of smoke. Does that count..?

oh and for you guys arguing about whether 4WD is considered drifting, on GTP it is Clarification: AWD Drifting

I guess Inertia Drift isn't drifting according to some experts on this forum. Drifting is the action of sliding, regardless of whether it is 4wd, FF, MR, or FR if the vehicle is outside its usual wheel track when moving forwards it is sliding. Sliding only occurs when there is an angle involved, otherwise it is skidding for braking and power sliding when accelerating.

Simple equations.

Sliding + Corner (or series of) = Drifting.

Sliding + Straight Road = Fishtailing.

Not that hard really.

For me a drift has to include being sideways for the entire corner from entry to exit.

how is it not possible with 4wd?

ive seen so many 4wd skylines in drift comps...

You sure?


Because not every Skyline is 4WD....and if still so they can easily be modified to be 2WD

these guys from a local drift team have a R34 GT-T 2WD Skyline with GT-R CAMP and an RB30DET engine, the R32's and R33's they have are no GT-Rs either, so they're 2WD

and here's a S14a 200sx with a RB26DETT from a R32 GT-R they also have

I attempted drifting the superbird, but an unmodified one. Lol i failed! It just straightens up so well...
But my most unlikely drift car is my Toyota 2000GT. Its not very fast but i can keep it sideways around anything! And this is running without a spoiler

22B is a drift-a-holic! 4wd do drift in game and reality because of it's ability to powerover. It's a true 4 wheel drift. Example is rally. Done.

Powerslides are impossible in a FF car, simple as that.

Drifting, is possible, powerslides however, are not.

I did a search and that didnt come up... odd

 

[zedextreme8177]

For all the strange reasons, I once managed to keep a maintained drift in an X2010

Don't know if this counts, but the Volvo C30 will slide really well in reverse

 

[Captain Roh]

Seriously. Another drifting debate!?

None of you are 'true' drifters. Its a computer game! If you want to argue who is truely drifting, drift IRL, and join a RL drift forum. Let the other people and their OP's have a bit of fun for god sake.

That's odd, I would've thought the Tank Car was good for drifting. Really big engine, mountains of torque, beefy rear wheels.

You would be correct!
