lol, noob

 

+1 on the bold. I think you got it backwards Twister. Drifting is not to go fast, its definately just for style

 

The ppl that don't like drifting,or any other kind or racingare the ones that can't drive.They are also the ones that sit in the grandstands saying they can do that,or I can drive faster/better then that guy.That are all show and no go.LOL

Well get off your a$$ and do it then tough guy.

 

Is this directed at me? I didn't say I didn't like drifting.

 

No its not directed at you,I was just saying what I've see and heard from ppl at races I've been to.
I use to race offroad trucks and pro areana trucks and the ppl that came to watch would say O I can do that or I can drive faster then you,but they never did they just sat there mouthing off.
ppl that drift can drive,I myself can't do it that good yet I can't control my car that good to make it slide through the corners yet.I make it go to far or not far enough.
There is a guy in my autocross club that drifts for a living and he is very good,at the last autox race on sunday he was drifting through a couple of corners it looked cool but it slowed him down through the corners.

 

I suspect that those into traditional formats of automotive competition are those who least appreciate drifting.

The best comparison I've heard - and I mean no disrespect - is figure skating competitions vsspeed skating or
any of the various downhill skiing events.

Drifting, like figure skating, is scored on matters subject to individual interpretation rather than on purely objective
time measurements. So there's bound to be some uneasiness among traditional enthusiasts where the possibility
exists for another competitor's ability to "show off" better to outweigh superior performance as measured by criteria
not subject to human interpretation such as time, distance, or speed.

Drifting is interesting from a technical standpoint, however- what it takes, mechanically,to improve the objective
side of the performance as well as making it easier to help the presentation. And a little experience being a bit more
sideways than normal can be a good thing.


Edited to fit on screen - there must be a large picture that won't pass through the work internet filters.

Drifting is more like surfing.

Do you do any autocrossing.

 

I've done several track days in the south east in the last car that I had wich was a s2000. I'm still getting use to the weight of this car.

 

Ya I had a Z3 Roadster before this car and I'm still getting use to the weight,and size of this car.
