The Weekly Drift Magazine

The Weekly Drift Magazine, is a thread where, I'll post the top ten pics of tandeming, or drifting. I would like you guys to send me a pm of the pictures you think are your best, so I can check them out & put them up here. I'll pick the ones I think fit the "Top Ten" & post them. Every single week there will be a set of ten new pictures on the the "Magazine.".

Bored? Read a few facts in this weeks "Tech Article".

Car: 350z

Fact 1: The 350z is a 2-seated sports car.
Fact 2: It is manufactured by Nissan.
Fact 3: There were 2 pro drifters in the top ten rankings in formula D that use the 350z; Chris Forsberg, and Tyler Mcquarrie. Forsberg, sponsered by NOS finished in 6th, Mcquarrie sponsered by Falken finished in 8th.
Fact 4: With the engine's centerline located behind the front axle line for better weight distribution across a relatively long 104.3-inch wheelbase, the 350Z's handling balance was excellent. And best of all, the 2003 350Z's price was a downright cheap $26,269 for the base model. Reviving the 240Z's value heritage was certainly a good idea.
Fact 5: Powering the 350Z was the "VQ35DE" 3.5-liter, DOHC, 24-valve V6 which, thanks to continuously variable valve timing and a relatively high (10.3:1) compression ratio, made a thick 287 horsepower at 6,200 rpm. In truth, though, there was nothing exotic about this engine, as other versions of the this V6 could be found under the hoods of Nissan's Altima and Maxima sedans, the Murano SUV, the Quest minivan and Infiniti's G35 sedan and coupe.

Unique!

Description: This is a very unique, and different style of drifting picture, as you can see they are getting some tandem on dirt roads, GREAT.

Last time i checked dude the dirt tracks on gt5 dont have ripple strips and im pretty sure those arnt dirt tyres on those cars. I can see smoke but no dust and if you look to the inside of the road cant see a whole lot of gravel
Really unique picture :lol:

Vans was just working with the picture I gave him at 2am and no description. I can see how he thought the pic I gave him was on dirt because of the filter I used and the color of the road in the photo.

I think it initially looked like a photo on dirt because of the dusty front tire and the way the filter made the road a bit brown. But yeah, everyone give him a break lol.
 
I thought it was dirt at first, I was sleepy last night when i put this up here @ 1 am. You don't have to critisize me, my mistake. I changed the description.
 
Ok, I put more details, on the "FACTS" read them.
 
Thanks for featuring the pic of my teammate and I, were always trying to push ourselves to the limit, even if it means a few bumps and bruises along the way. ;)
 
Really cool pictures...

And:
What about in the next magazine bring facts of the Toyota 2000GT?
I know its not a typical drift car, but its an epic car.
 
You can do a tech article & send it to me for next week's article, & I will be happy to put your name in there as the publisher.
 
The Loco picture looks really sweet, and the yellowish(Refresh colour?) mustang looks, drifts great also.
 
All of the top 10 pics are posted, getting ready for next week's mag.
