That's totally the point. We just wanna make something different
Well, i give you guys props for standing up to all this. You are true enthusiasts, and if you want to go ff, so be it. I just personally will probably always end up with fr. I like the balance better in most fr's. personally, i think fr is where it should be though. The fr IS more suited for sustained drifts, and no one can argue that. The ability to sustain a drift relies partly on the capabilities of the vehicle. And no, a drift has nothing to do with spinning tires. It's something about an altered path of an intentional course or something. in short, all it is is driving a car around a corner with less resistance than that other guy. So yes, ff can drift. monster trucks can drift. your daddy's t-bucket can drift. I just think what you see drifting professionaly IS drifting pro because it's more suited towards that job.
am i suppost to respect you for posting on drifting.com about what YOU respect as a drifter? i dont even respect myself for trying to post here sometimes.
you can drift FF, it just takes skill. and i highly doubt anyone else in this thread has really drifted ff, because if you did, and you ahd access to a rwd car you would be sponsored by now. why these threads keep going i find sad, and im gonna spare myself from clicking on the high schooler who started a thread about drifting a dodge caravan
I agree, FF is not the true sense of what drifting has become.
But I love GymKhana as much as I love drift, and in so loving both have also found a place for my FF and love of drift. It's harder than hell to change direction, and I'm happier driving my buddy David's 240's than my car for any real drift action, but I'll tell you, FF is possible and I've done it, as a matter of fact I just won my first Gymkhana event I ever went to, and they straight teach you how to drift anything, FF, FR, unicycle...
The following picture is of me in the canyons taking a turn with entry speed of about 60mph. Its a clean J turn with a downhill slope easy to shift weight, however true to fact, my exit speed was substantially slower, however, I've learned a new trick akin to kickin the clutch with an FR with the FF that actually helps in minimizing the exit loss, maybe i'll do an article on it...
