well.. that's difficult to use as an argument.. most cars that come out of the factory are built to understeer.. regardless of rwd or fwd.. did you know the 350z understeers heavily? while the ITR's come out of the factory with oversteer..
i don't see the relevance of the e-brake wheels having to be the same as the drive wheels..
yes.. i agree.. but i think times are changing.. we've just been used to rwd as drift cars. nowadays, we come to see rhys millen coming out in an awd car and fwd's making more and more appearances in some drift competitions. same deal with race cars.. they used to be all rwd cars. now tsx's are taking win's over bmw's at the speed touring car competitions.
ahhh... see.. so it is called drifting.. people will see a fwd drifting and they'll say 'it's not drifting, it's power sliding' do you see the irony in the terminology? if anything, i would call the fwd drifting and the rwd power sliding.. the term fits better..
rwd doesn't have an oversteering nature.. you have to work at breaking the rear loose to oversteer the car.. so to oversteer, that means that you must lose traction in the rear. when a fwd car is sliding around countering.. it's because it doesn't have traction in the rear. yes, i know that the rear wheels aren't spinning either.. but no one ever said it had to either.
the 4-door skyline and toyota chaser are bigger boats than the accord..

 

this thead sucks bad

 

Ill stick to watching RWD cars drift since thats what the pros drive around in anyway.

Its better to watch a nice Supra come out of a turn spinning those rear wheels all the way down the track.

 

That is funny that you think that rear wheel drive cars don't use the e-brake to drift. Have you ever seen the video "Hashirya"? It has the so called "Drift King", Keiichi Tsuchiya in a Silvia using the e-brake to drift. Last time I checked Silvias are RWD, correct me if I am wrong though. Maybe I am the one that is wrong and you know more about drifting then one of the best known drifters in Japan.

stop reviving old threads :slap:

 

I was about to say :repost: Until I realized it was another n00b giving CPR to an old thread. We need a new smilie for this.

 

I lub the ricer style . . . hub caps in the front and rims w/ summer tires in the back :chuckles:

 

I tried drifting my CRX once. Bad results. :ugh:

And yeah, RWD doesn't automatically mean oversteer which doesn't automatically means drift. Power sliding by inducing oversteer with the throttle alone is only one way to drift and is the only method FWD cars are incapable of.
