Transmission type and HP means nothing in an E-brake drift.

i'd rather drift with a manual, i doubt you can keep the engine in the optiumum rpm range with an auto... i think it'd be tough to control the wheelspin and engine output... but... you're talking about e-braking, so... whatever. sounds more like a powerslide.

To my (possibly limited) knowledge, Drifting is being in a corner with all 4 wheels sliding. In a rear wheel drive, you dont really "drift" for as long, its more what we just call "getting sideways". The front wheels point where you wanna go, and the back slides round. With "drifting", all of the wheels are sliding. It's more a matter of adjusting your momentum using the small amount of difference in tyre grip at different rev's. Drifting requires set up before the corner, a correct line. You actually enter the corner just about facing the way you want to enter it. With getting sideways, its more entering the corner with speed and waiting till the apex to kick the back out and slide it round.FF drifting is not that hard if you have mastered other drifts. the difference is i set up for the corner with my handbrake, stopping the back wheels, then using the front ones to pull you out of the corner. I guess its not actually drifting per se, in my opinion. I once won a carton of Hahn Premium by drifting my friends Turbo Scoupe in a carpark =) Fond memories! The way i learnt to drift, was on wet greasy roads in a ute. Thats the first place you'll learn how to hold a car sideways =) "Anyone can go into a corner sideways, but only some people can get it out."

hmm... i see.. i just tend to call both just "drifting," maybe it's Initial D's japanese vocab that did it to me  the "drifting" you talk about, where you start sliding before the entrance of the corner, those are awesome. quote:

yeah I love how everyone suddenly uses the terminologoy from that website like an expert. Slate: what you're doing is not drifting, it's powersliding. So long as you use the handbrake it's a power slide. The difference between the two is that while drifting usually involves an oversteer and a downshift, powersliding involves a handbrake and a lot of luck! It's really bad for that handbrake of yours. You're essentially raping the components on your automatic Beemer.

Forgot to mention that I also bought some of the Initial D OSTs. I bought:
Initial D - D Selection
Initial D - D Selection 2
The Movie Of Super Eurobeat
The last one is the 3rd stage soundtrack. Yeah, my cousin loves ID too. He was really into his car, Eclipse GSX. It's great living in Okinawa. Almost every other car has at least a bodykit and an exhaust. I mostly see Silvias, AE86s, 300ZXs and Skylines. Skylines are a dime a dozen over there, however not all of them are the GT-R Vspecs. I've actually only seen 2 Vspecs in the month that I was there this summer.
