Why do you need rain to do that when you have gobs of torque and RWD?





























Before someone says it, yes, I know this saves the tires.

That is an awesome video. I would say drifting in the rain is more dificult because you have so little traction. If you let it get out of controll you will not save it. Unlike on dry pavement when pure power is making you slide, all you have to do is let out of the gas and generaly it will straighten out.

The video is well produced and very entertaining to watch!

I love the setup where ever they are at seems like there was no houses around but it was a perfect place to do it.

Same here... I drive my Z28 all year around and when its snowing every turn looks like this video. Its not hard if you know how to handle a RWD car also when you have very little traction in rain or snow and are only going slowly sideways you have more time to react and counter steer and takes less throttle to handle.

It's mostly throttle control, and not oversteering...
