I fail to see anything impressive :/

For me it's just a M3 smoking its tires and taking a slow a turn.

Has anyone checked teh superhonda's AE86 video drift? That'll be more like it.

 

thats wasnt nice, i dont think he is a pro driver.

 

That was the hotness :loco:

 

With stiff enough rear springs and totally worked rear suspension...easily can be done.

 

2/4

 

THat car is the hottness....

Stiffening the rear suspension encourages oversteer. Oversteer is not the same thing as drifting. However, you can indeed set up the suspension of a fwd car to slide (either the rears or all four tires, or the fronts for that matter) a bit through turns on a road course or autocross.

The problem you run into when trying to do actual drifting tricks with an fwd car is that you can't steer the car with the throttle the same way you can with rwd. You need to be able to do that to actually drift like in say, a D1 GP or something.

 

like booty said, drifting in a fwd is possible...all you really have to do is gain speed and torque the steering wheel hard going into a turn, incouraging the back end to swing out. But again, like he said, good luck controlling a fwd drift...you're at the mercy of where IT wants to go.
