Default Drifting

Being that I am now an import tuner...lol. I went with a friend of mine to an abandoned parking lot to try my hand at drifting. Talking about it on the way there I was thinking....this can't be hard....just like taking turns really fast....MAN WAS I WRONG!!!! These guys were AWESOME!!! My buddy has one of the hottest show cars in the country, he's won the nationals three times and was in the fast and the furious and is a well respected drifter too, so I had a good teacher. Let me tell ya, it was the hardest thing I have ever done....I thought I was going to die on a few occasions and my **** was puckered the entire timeIF you guys ever get the chance to tr it...go for it!!! It was a blast, and all I did was unseat a tire and destroy a rim on my brand new carNo I have no video....even if I did I wouldn't show it to you...yes it was that bad

It gets even more interestingwhen 4wd drifting! If only a Hummer had twice the power and half its weight.

I break my motors in the way my race motor builder has always told me...drive them hard as hell then let it cool off...repeat. You need to drive them hard in order to seat the rings properly...there are alot of different opinions out there but this method has always worked for me and has always left me with a motor that runs strong, not a dog like if you take it easy for the first 1000 miles.

yes I raced a stang on day one...lost.....drifted on day 4....fun,scary all at the same time...and I raced a benz clk this morning....damn he was FAST!!!!!

yea the lancer is FWD...didn't know that fwd wasn't good for drifting untilthis morning when my buddies called me up laughing...HAHAHA realllllll funny!NO wonder why I just couldn't do it....go ahead pick on the muscle car guy cause he's driving an import..hahaha. They're just pissed cause my their rice can't beat my GN in a real race

[quote]We’ve seen some impressive driving in Hummers – and most of it has been off-road. This driver shows of their drifting and stunt skills by keeping a Hummer H3 riding on two wheels for some time! The vehicle is on the verge of roll-over – and the cost of one mistake for this guy would be pretty expensive! We’ll leave two wheel driving (at least at high-speed…) to these guys, you should too!
