Drifting?

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/062/81519902/files/2014/12/img_6183.jpg

Drifting is reckless. Drifting is pointless. But overall drifting is fun.
To draft you need skill, car handling, and precision. Losing traction spinning your rear wheels out without grip.

Lowered car. Slight camber. Manual transmission.
With automatics you can't really get the revs up when try to slip out
You need the clutch to drift
Some may argue that automatics can do just as much but really you need a manual transmission.
Manual, rwd, preferably a coupe(really doesn't matter if it's not a coupe)
People drift in hatchbacks and station wagons.
Find an vacant lot. Clutch in. Release clutch. Spin the wheel.
Tire smoke will show up as seen in the pictures. Tire smoking and leaving marks. If you drift on your property the marks will be hard to take off.

Drifting is hard to get good at. You have to master clutch control and hand movements.
You can drift with clutch. Turning hard enough. Or the e-brake.

Best brands for drifting?
Usually the Japanese ones
Mazda, Nissan, Toyota
American
Chevy and Ford (partially: Dodge)
European
Volvo(wagons) And Bmw

Mazda has the miata, rx-7, and rx-8
Nissan has the 180sx,240sx,the Z series and the skylines
Toyota has the supra, Cressida, and 70s corollas

Chevy with the Camaro and corvettes
But ford is way more popular for drifting with their mustang. Dodge has the charger and challenger but aren't as popular for drifting.

Volvo wagons are popular for drifting and so are bmw 1,3, and 5 series
Mercedes are mostly rwd but they are to heavy and too luxurious for drifting.

The Koreans have the genesis coupe that isn't really popular for drifting but I assume that it will be very popular in the drifting world.

Drifting is illegal so watch out for the 5-0.
