Give her one side of the garage and her own chit to break! But do you let her get faster?

Looks like a ton of fun. That boosted LS 240 sounds awesome! I enjoy watching Von Gittin Jr get down too in his foxbody

If we had a garage maybe, but have talked about it. It would be another coupe. One will get a supercharger and the other will be turbo'd, both painted identical., both GT40 variants with similar cam profiles.

(sorry for the slightly oldish thread revival.)
Drifting is exactly what I got my fox for, still trying to figure out how to get more steering angle out of it though.

in one of Von Gittin jr's videos he said he lengthened the tie rods and added aftermarkey a-arms. Good driving bro!

What you kids today call a "sport" us old timers called "f'ing around in an empty parking lot and hope there were no cops around".

Today's youth can give it a "buzzy" name if they wish, but to the rest of its, it's called a controlled power slide. And I was doing it for yeeeears as a teen, long before I heard them rebadge it as "drifting" and gave it some made up back story about it originating in the mountains of Japan.

Don't think any of us considered it a sport or took it seriously back then though...but I guess kids just aren't as creative as they used to be. I suppose if bowling can be considered a sport now a days, anything can? It's still the equivalent of auto figure skating as far as I'm concerned. lol

Ain't that the truth.

We more or less called it "getting sideways".

It was described to me by a friend from New Zealand as dancing on four wheels, as it was explained to me you need two cars running nearly side by side through a abbreviated road coarse basically sidways, you 'dance' next to your opponent and the one that runs closest to out of control and their opponent all the while 'looking good' wins. Probably simplified for my feabel mind and some on here probably won't admit to knowing more about this than me.
Still looks like a fun way to waste a perfictly good set of tires.
And yes, it is called a sport, but so is batmitton, golf, volleyball and 'gaming'.
