Default Drifting?
Anyone try a little drifting with their car? (Off the public streets of course)

Yea you are talking about steering angle, you are correct. we really do not have enough to be able to compete with most cars. The better the driver is the more angle you can get. Most of us will never get it at full lock and hold a drift. The vid was done in 2nd and 3rd gear and this is the 1st time in the car.

Pro drift cars are modified for more steering angle yes.

reading my post may help clarify what I was saying, trying, which would make it gay in that case. Didnt mean to upset a guy with a 240
