Always drifting during road racing. Great on Hoosier tires!

Hey Rick, shouldn't you have said never on purpose?

Racing in the rain is a blast with a locked rear with a car that understeers and you have to get it to oversteer to make it around a corner...:cross-eye :devious:

[hmsports]

Let me clarify that 2Many...

A FOUR wheel drift is desirable... a two wheel drift is not (just a lot of fun).

I also love racing in the rain -- but I've never been able to afford rain tires so I have to slide around on my Toyo or Hoosiers. Makes for some interesting times -- espeicially like you said -- with a locker!

Out on the track the Zed drift's around a couple of 100+kph(160+mph) corners like nothing else. The IRS works hard ...

The extra weight of the 2+2 makes it interesting though, as does the rubbish tyres that I'm using

Makes me smile just thinking about it

Are you sure it's not the other way around..? 100 mph and 160 kph? Just wondering. Drifting owns.

[dohc]

Ha Ha! Yeah it might just be the other way around

Damn I must be tired or something!

HAHA. I just realized IRS stands for independent rear suspension. I thought you were talking about the Internal Revenue Service (US's tax collectors), DOHC. Anyway that was quite random.

some people drift trucks. z's aren't a big deal mang.

i was watching this show on police chases and there was a chase involving a charter bus, and the guy who jacked it went through this sweeping turn and the back slid out as he approached and *almost* kept it going. this guy drifted (some might say powerslid) a bus. upon exiting he kinda went up on the curb but uh, hey, he didn't tip over. that was crazy stuff. he kept on going after that.
