Drifting in a A/T?
 
Has anyone tried drifting in thier A/T8? Is it possible to do? Did you have to mod anything to be able to do it well?

I tried searching the forum for info but didn't see anything. Hopefully I am not just being blind.

You'd probably need FI or bald tires and rain.

There is someone on this forum that has done it. I also looked back and did a search but could not find the posts. I would think it could be done but ....................

if you define "drifting" as doing donuts, then yes. actually drifting would be much more difficult.

My future license plate ==> WHTDCS? (What DCS?)

lol. That video clip was funny.

And yeah, I expected as much but had to ask. One of these days I would like to give drifting a try. Guess it will be with my next toy.

^ Is that a serious question?

I'm not sure if you're serious but by the looks of your avatar... I think you're for real.

Donut on snow!!

Rain is dangerous....

Easy_E1 Apr 14, 2008 08:07 PM

Donuts are easy,, just turn the wheel all the way and floor it. Be sure to turn off the DSC though.

till this day i still laugh about my lil driftin accident.

i was at a stoplight, roads were wet, i tapped the gas harder than i thought while making a left turn then all of a sudden i felt my rear tires skidding..i was panicking b/c i was headin straight towards oncoming cars so i quickly countersteered. for a short while i was swervin left and right...i was scared out of mind, so my instinct was to slam on my brakes and yank the wheel all the way to the right (sidewalk). here was the results lol

all my guy friends that were in the back of me thought i did it on purpose. they said the angle looked real nice, like a pro. lmao

i wanted to punch their faces because i still all shaken up and here they were showboating in front of all the cars passing us haha

Atilla Apr 21, 2008 09:19 PM
