Fox drifting....

[blackened88lx]

Sweet vid. I think drifting is pretty cool. I don't really understand the whole anti-drift thing. It seems like one person said drifting is gay, and everyone just agreed because they thought it was cool to not like it. I'm not saying people on here, just in general. Who ever thought in the world of cars, where we all love to go fast and do burnouts, etc. that incredible drivers doing massive, powersliding, tire annihalating burnouts would be considered gay?

I think it is more of show kind of stuff like 90mustanggt said, but dam it is/looks like fun.

Awesome Car, awesome driving

it's cool as long as it is on the track. I had a friend get put in the hospital for 3 weeks b/c some asshat came drifting through an intersection and lost control of the car. I have ZERO tolerance for any of that crap on the road.

Maybe I'm just weird or dumb (or both), but I just don't "get" drifting. I mean, I know it takes a lot of skill and all, but it's essentially just a lot of going around and around in a figure-8, usually, and burning down a set of $200-apiece tires in just a few minutes. It looks cool for, say, movie footage in a chase scene, but as a competitve sport ... ehhhmmm ... no. Just looks a lot like dirt-track racing being done on a paved road, basically, which is a total opposite of, say, IRL car racing - one pretty much requires you to be sliding around 90% of the time, the other tries to minimize any form of wheelspin or drift as much as possible.

Nice-lookin' Fox, though ... aside from the whale tail...

i agree. it takes skill, but it really is the antithesis of all autosports.

in everything else..you DONT want to spin the tires.

You are Correct, the Racing term for that stuff is "Massive Oversteer", Drifting around a turn is what you try to obtain as you would have no Understeer or Oversteer and your tires would break traction at the same time thus you would have a car in perfect balance and produce the best Lap Times.

The most I have done was read the Article in Hot Rod about the 3rd one. They used V8 Mustangs for the Movie that were rigged up to look like it had a Ricer Engine in it and they did fit the Ricer Engine in a Mustang after like 3 or 4 Months of work.

im still terribly disturbed by that skyline/stang swap. but the fact that they used a real motor to get the stuff done is pretty funny.

I did enjoy reading that part of the Story saying they had to use the V8 Stangs to pull of the Stunts!!!

The RB26DETT is hardly a "ricer" motor, but the movie is still ghey.
