December 7, 200618 yr comment_191830 those who modify for the purpose of drifting on this board are few and far between. Over at Hybridz.org, however, you will find more than enough info.http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?searchid=679101 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/22546-240z-drifting/#findComment-191830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 7, 200618 yr comment_191851 Back in the days I was autocrossing it was called bad loose instead of drifting. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/22546-240z-drifting/#findComment-191851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 7, 200618 yr comment_191854 Drifting blows chunks. All the real drifters will tell you it the very worst thing (abuse-wise) you could possibly do to a car, except, perhaps, launching it off a bridge. Go to a Corrola GTS meet. All the drift cars have front end damage and have been through several engines. Watch a drift - 3 seconds of drift - 20 seconds of recovery.

December 7, 200618 yr comment_191855 I always get a kick out of the young drift guys, thinking it is something new!!! Shoot, sprint car guys have been doing it for decades. One thing is for sure...the tire companies certainly love it!

December 8, 200618 yr comment_191922 I love the screaming engines and smoking tires, but other than that, I don't get it. I guess I'm getting old or something. It just seems like one big poser's convention to me. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/22546-240z-drifting/#findComment-191922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 8, 200618 yr comment_191924 A 240Z is far from the ideal drift car. If you want to go have fun drifting, please do yourself and your car a favour and sell it for another more common, easily replaced car.

They are in the USA, 240z's are common and easily replaced.

December 8, 200618 yr comment_191940 Even though the 240Z's are "easily replaced" in the States, I wouldn't drift one. If you wreck it, you don't want to be sending it to the crusher.I think drifting is great. Its not really that competitive, but as a community based event its awesome. If you go on Drifting.com or DailyDrifter.com the guys are just so nice.Even though drifting is kind of like ice dancing for cars, its entertaining, and that's the entire purpose of drifting today. Is to entertain. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/22546-240z-drifting/#findComment-191940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
