Drifting a turn better?
Hey MIke when did Cadillac get into this, i saw him in ATL this weekend and was awsome, great to hear and see a caddy drift and the LS6 sounded great, he went up against some BMW and a team Toyo drift car and was so much faster then them it was great. Its more then just sliding a car, going in one direction is hard to do at 100mph but to bring it back just as far in the other direction.... yea thats real damn hard. Just want to say good luck and hope to see your car again, it looked good at IRP, so far you GTO and Jr are great and nice to see you guys ou there talking. dado is real cool as well and easy to talk to. thanks again.
The idea of drifting is "controlling the car when it's out of control." There is control to be had when sliding around (of course not as much as if you had traction). Drifting most definitly is a different sport and i think bubba drift has done a good job representing the sport they love VERY well in this thread, especially with the overwhelmingly negative mood in this thread. I personally would love to give it a shot but the price of tires will keep the ss away from it for a while.

I've autocrossed for the past two years and I've used a tiny bit of drifting for like a half of a second in some instances. When I'm going a decent speed around a sweeper and my car wants to understeer, I'll use the gas to help the car turn slightly. This is by NO MEANS anything close to one of those 5 second drifts, just a slight one to help myself correct my turn a little better.
I'm not even sure this is a good thing to do and that I'm probably going too fast into a turn if I feel the need to do this manuver

Do you see the last thing there.......ROAD RACING, this forum is for road racing, not drifting, so if you have info to share about drifting put it in the right forum.

You know whats really fucken gay? That all you people love MONSTER trucks! Its all show and just jumping over cars etc. Yes there is so much tech in their SUS setups etc, but what is it? Its for show and is fun. So drifting is to control a slide thats out of control its about driver skill. It has nothing to do with racing or the fastest lap time. Now if you talking rally etc them yes drifting is need because of the traction condictions etc.
If your going to bad mouth a motor sport might as well bad mouth all of them, I know some jackass is going to come in a say im gay, and drifting is gay. Those are the people that fail to grasp the concept of things and only know and breath Ls1s and the 1/4. Now im going to Burn some bridges right now, I think NASCAR is pure utter trash. And all about sponsers and going around a circle. I have more RESPECT for TOP FEUL or F1 than Nascar drivers. But that is my opion and just that, Do you see me preaching and putting other people down like the rest of you? No im just saying thats what I think. Yes I know it takes alot of skill but I see it as sponship and advertising gimmick.
Thats me 2 cents. If you want to flame me be my geust, But ill just be ignorant and stay closed minded like some people. You know thats what makes the world and better place.
And im very happy to see FBODYs road racing,auto exing and drifting, Im glad that some people know there is more than out there than the 1/4

The reason why people get mad at drifting is because of: look at the title on this thread saying drifting through a turn is better? People who see drifting and then talking nonsense saying that it's faster to drift through the turn than to drive through it. Just like the original poster of this thread stated. People told him that it's faster to drift through the turn, which is why he asked this question in the first place. I don't like NASCAR either, it's like going to an amusement park and getting on the rides that just go around. Sickening and boring. Give me a rollercoaster anyday like F1 racing.

people tell me their v6 camaros are fast. with your mindset should i start flaming everyone on ls1tech for some idiot in a v6 camaro claiming it was fast when in reality it couldnt hang with a bone stock 240sx?

Read my post again and state where I said that drifting was faster through a turn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
arite guys, please prove my idiot freinds wrong. they seem to think drifting a turn instead of hitting the apex and accelerating out of it is faster. i mena how the **** could it be true.. first off the entirety of the turn they are losing momentum because the tires are spinning, 2 they arent lauching out of the turn... am i missing some magical exception to physics?
Those were the people I was talking about saying that drifting is faster through a turn, not the people who posted in here.

so your post was just redundancy?
you seemed like you were tying to explain why peopel think drifting is gay, and you seemed to be tryign to say its becuase "drifters say its faster"
there are two liscenced pro drifters in this thread, neither have supported this theory of drifting a turn being faster.
