First of all, the driftworks site had some cool vids. I just wanted to chip in with my 2 cents about drifting.I'm an autocrosser, and I drive a AWD car. While most AWD drifts aren't as pronounced as the ones from the site, it is possible to drift an AWD car, especially at divisional type courses, which are usually faster. My perfered method of driving is to aim at a cone and drift around it. Being stock (only 225 HP), I usually aim about 6 inches to the inside of the cone.
In my friend's car, a modded AWD eclipse, you can aim 3-4 feet inside a cone and drift around it. I guess that's what 350ish HP will do for you.
In my car, two good drifts come to mind. One was a gentle sweeper that I took at the rev-limiter in second (about 60-65 mph). Started on the inside and slowly slid to the outside of the turn while accelerating to the rev-limiter and across the finish.
The other one was like the ones from the driftworks site. I came out of a 90 degree right with a short straight to another 120 degree right. I have the rear tire pressures set about 12 psi below the fronts to get the back to come out in corners if I need it. On this run, I had them a little too low. The back came way out as I passed the apex of the first turn, and stayed out until I turned the front to go around the second turn. It was one of those scary / exilirating driving moments.
Anyone else have any good drift stories?
