But learning in a less powerful car promotes more user skill, and not simply putting your foot to the floor. You don't want the car doing the work for you, especially when it's overpowering you.



No, not exactly you need skill for both traits its easier to break traction with more torque not easier to drift .

Key point : Throttle Control.

Little misunderstanding?

All the pro's in this thread need to post thier own videos.. lol

That vid was cool, saw some pretty nice drifts.. I like the 240 at the very end keeping it in motion all the way around the back of the building.. that was pretty cool! Nice vid!

No that's actually my point, It is easier to break traction with more torque, that's why driving schools start you off with less.(Lots of power+new driver+trying to go sideways, usually does not end pretty)It is easier to initiate with torque, but schools use less powerful cars to promote the use of weight balance, momentum, etc.
If you're handed say... the Mopar Viper, and a 240sx, you're going to have more confidence that you can drift the Viper just by hitting the gas, this often leads to user error because the driver is not used to being sideways with so much power. But a platform like the 240 gets you comfortable with car control first, not just throttle control.

Pretty sick video..

I don't see how any of you can say shit about where they are drifting?

Why don't you guys post up your sick drifting video's of you on courses doing S turns while drifting at 90 degree angles?!?!!?!

Oh that's right... You can't. :rofl:

Moar car sounds, less degeneration of hip hop playing as a "soundtrack"

Remember when rap actually had lyrics? Classic hip hop is where it's at.
