My 3.8L turbo, drifting, and sparing with 12sec IROC
Video is from 2005 finally put it together, engine was breaking up at 4800-5000 due to maxing the maf, so races were 2nd gear only. The other car is a 12sec iroc.

Lol, sorry I pay for my own tires,, gears, diff, tranny........ that little bit on the asphalt, and the dough nuts were a one time deal.
Never understood drifting on pavement, just seemed destructive, I got into driving on gravel roads because I like rallying.

Dude why do you care if I drive on dirt roads in a camaro? its fun to me? I've done it in AWD cars, its faster, but less fun, which is the point. Does it look like I'm trying to go as fast as possible?
Thats why I called it drifting, driving sideways for the sake of driving sideways. I'm sorry it doesn't meet your definition.

With 3.42 gears, stock LSD, 245 goodyears, and full boost (20+psi) it would still break the tires loose at 50-60mph.
Races in the video were at 8psi.

After this video I switched to the largest diameter MAF I could get at the time. It was a 6.0 off and escalade I believe. Then I maxed the 43lb injectors.
