I agree, drifting takes more skill then driving your car in a straight line for that matter.
Our cars are not difficult to drift, it's learning how to control the car and set it up for drift so the car will respond better when you do push it.

BTW, I don't do it on the street, I practice in empty totally open parking lots.

Yep, there is a not of negative, stupid posts on this forum. I don't think it'll ever change.

Yeah, I do. If your being sarcastic, I'll just laugh in your face because we still move 40 cars out the door everyday.

Our most recently new tech just came from Cadillac - where they were excited to see 20 a day.

lol what i meant to say was, If your just relying on the e-brake for drifting, why not practice other different ways, You have to know like clutch kicking and shift lock, etc for different corners and angles. <-- thats what i meant to say lol

He's clutch kicking on most turns. Beginners usually start with e-braking, thats why i said that on my other post. duh!
