Drifting!

For those of you who aren't familiar with drifting it's more or less driving...sideways.
You swing your ass out when you go around a corner and just 'drift' around it.

 

It's not faster than normally going around a corner...

But it looks damn cool. It's actually pretty amazing when you see it happen in real life. (irl)

The tires screeching and smoke going everywhere (well sometimes..)

If you've ever played any recent need for speed games then you should know what drifting is. Sometimes they call it handbrake turning.

 

Typically it's just RWD cars in the drifting business

 

 

Typical drifting cars include (but are not limited to): Nissan 240sx, Nissan 350z, Nissan silvia, Nissan Skyline (If you can afford it), Toyota Corolla AE86, Mazda Rx-7, and Ford Mustang. 

 

Glorious

Personally, I have no experience drifting. Kinda sad, but the first car I owned was FWD and then I bought a truck...so yeh..... I would love to try it if someone lets me thrash on their car. That'd be greatly appreciated haha.

The Subaru Impreza is getting popular in the drifting scene, as are other 4WD cars. It's not really "True Drifting" however you can still slide them around corners.

 

 

 

Anyways. Here's a little video of some crazy foo drifting a nice 350z around a track.

BTW: Illegal drifting is well...illegal. I wouldn't recommend trying your drifting skills on a public road. If anything find an empty parking lot or something far away from everyone. (Drifting is obnoxious and people will hate you if you do it in public) If you wanna drift go to your local track and sign up for a track day!

I wish I had enough money to thrash around a 350z. Makes me angry a lil..
