Can i do it in a FWD, heard it could be done.  And what's the cheapest new RWD car out there, or do you people know anybody selling a RWD for cheap?  How do i drift with a RWD, and how are the Formula D's scored?

i've never heard of anyone drifting in a FWD.\nyour best bet for drifting is a nissan 200sx (i think they are called 240sx in US) or a Mazda rx7. they are the two best cars for drifting

Start small. Most local tracks have an entry level that requires a modest investment. They may be call Factory Stock, Detroit Iron, Street Stocks or Bombers. Go to the track you think you'd like to compete at and check them out. Get a copy of the rules because they differ from track to track. As you improve with experience you can move up in class and perhaps acquire a sponsor. Remember, no business wants to advertise on an also-ran car, so keep it pretty and don't do anything to embarrass the sponsor. Good luck!

Are you kidding me?  DO NOT get rid of that car!!  It's among the elite of import racing and will probably get some serious $$ because there are not that many off them out there.  Keep it, even if it's non-op registered, and just save up for the down on the new supra if you want it that bad.  The styling on that supra you have is still great and with all the custom options out there for a Supra, you'll have fun with it for years to come.

Yes, that is why I am so interested in E5. I hear some vehicles are coming out with the option of using it. I hope many more do and it gets fixed up to use real easy.

Awesome!!  Did it.  Thanks for the info.  I'm passing it on.  I chose the "muscle car."

I have raced cars legally and illegally in the past and the best way to downshift and get full acceleration is as follows:for example if you are changing from 4th to 3rd(or any other gears) to accelerate or overtake a slower vehicle you should press the clutch,change to neutral,blip the throttle(jab the throttle peddle momentarily just to raise your revs to match your engine speed to the wheels or you will lock up your wheels or get a jolt),then put it into the desired gear you want and release the clutch.You have to do it lightning quick for it to work properly.\nAnother useful tip to be an even faster driver is learning to use the brakes and change gear at exactly the same time when on a twisty winding country road (when going into corners which you have to change down for)this is called heal and toe.First you have to learn left foot braking and get used to the force you apply to the brake peddle with your left foot.At first you might press to much(everyone does this at first because you don't realise how sensitive it is)oh yeh make there are no cars behind you.once you have got used to that start doing it all the time when racing on a road anywhere (as long as it's safe).The trick is when coming to a bend that you have to brake and change down gear for is to use your left foot to do the braking and change gears normally with your right foot so you can leave your braking till later and closer to the bend,because your right foot is already changing down the gears and your braking whilst you are changing gear instead of having to do the same things with your right foot wich takes longer and more distance.\nWhen you come to a fast bend that you don't need to change down for but need to lift off the accerator don't do it.Just gently dab the brakes instead of lifting therefore your car is still accelerating and keeps it momentum through the bend which is alot faster(thats what micheal schumacher does in his f1 car) but your brakes will take a battering if you keep doing it.\nThey are the basics of how to drive a car very fast I have beat faster cars than mine using these things as well as others.If you want any more info on how to drive a car really fast e-mail me igenockey@yahoo.com.Hope I helped and just be bloody careful because it is easy to mess up.

hahahaha, it's about using "stock" cars (that's what NASCAR means!) based on sedans with certain specs.  and if it went to sports cars, i'd much rather have a ferrari, lamborghini, or bugatti than a ford or chevy.

no, the whole point of "drifting" is to set up your suspension for oversteer, and then controling the drift with the throttle not the steering wheel. when you think about your already asking the front whhels on FWD car to; stop, go, and handle cornering. with more power to the front wheels, when you accelerate out of a corner a FWD car will just understeer A LOT.

of the two the 350Z. the are better cars. for drifting a light weigh Rear Wheel Drive car is what is preferd. Comon car are\n1.1989-1997 Nissan 240SX\n2. 1985-1986 Toyota Corolla *aka* AE86\n3. 1980-1995 Mazda Rx7\n\nthose are the most comon in my mind anything in a FR lay out would work. if u look in at Formula drift u see vipers drifting so sky is the limit. \n\nI personally would go for the 240 due to the cost of getting one Versus a very pricey 350Z

The cheapest route is to go to your local tech school for automotive technologies, and then get on a race team, and work your way "up"\n\nother schools are available but I feel they are cost prohibitive. \nAnother thought is that there are more teams available in late model Nascar type racing.\nMost people involved in top fuel racing, are racers and/or car owners.

Let me break it down-\nEngine- 3 liter V10.  Approximately 900+ hp, 19,000 rpm.  The engine weighs about 200 lbs.  It spins so fast that metal valve springs can't keep, the springs are pneumatic.\nBrakes- The better your brakes, the later you can brake and thus you can spend more time going fast.  These are carbon fiber and take 3 months to make.  They heat up to around 1500 F in use and can be seen glowing.  The wheels are limited to 13 inches in order to limit braking capability.  As they are, the driver experiences 4 G's of decelerating load under heavy braking.  An average person would black out in an F1 car.\nAerodynamics- Surprisingly, drag is not the critical factor, downforce is.  These cars have very high coefficients of drag, due to the open wheels and spoilers.  The downforce is created by aero devices which are basically inverted aeroplane wings, which push the car to the ground under speed.  It is because of the dependence on these devices that F1 cars have a difficult time passing, once the cars enter the dirty air behind another racer, downforce drops dramatically and so does the car's ability to corner quickly.\nTraction control- the cars generate so much power that the throttle is computer controlled to keep the tires from spinning.  The governing body (the FIA) wants to make this illegal but right now it is not feasible because it is merely software in the engine management systems, and it is not feasible to decompile these systems to find illegal code.\nTransmisison- The cars utilize computer controlled sequential manual transmissions.  The computers manage the throttle and clutch to pull off perfect shifts in one tenth of a second.  All the driver does is pull a lever.  The clutch is only used from a standstill and is engaged from a lever on the steering wheel. \nWhat doesn't make the cars fast-\nTires- The tires are grooved to limit traction.  If the drivers were allowed to run slicks, the traction and G loading would be so high that drivers would black out and possibly crash.  Starting in 2005, they also must last the entire race.\nWheels- Size limited to prevent the installation of overlarge brakes which would also push the drivers beyond the limits of human physiology\nBrakes- As stated earlier, size limited.  Also, no ABS at all (outlawed in 1994).

Couple of things. First of all, you really need a rear wheel drive car. If you are trying to drift with a Civic, you are going to have a really hard time. There are also a bunch of thngs you need to do to your car. Best bet is to look at some drifting sites.\n\nMotegi Racing has a few good examples of "Drifting 101" (see my sources).

Hmmm.   I am not at all convinced by this!\n\nAfter all, we hear about cars being 3 or even 5 seconds faster, but it never seems to come to fruition!\n\nAt the practice at Canada, their practice times were:\n21. Takuma Sato Japan Super Aguri-Honda 01:19.088\n22. Franck Montagny France Super Aguri-Honda 01:19.152\nThese times are about 2 seconds slower than the 20th car - and if you take 3 seconds from that, you get 1 minute 16 seconds.   That would have put them in 15th!   I just hope that you can achieve it!\n\nSorry, Super Aguri - you are having a very bruising start to your F1 career.   However, I hope you can do the improvements to the car as it will make things much closer during the race!   \n\nGood luck!

Let's wait until the new cars are launched and the drivers put some test mileage on them.\nWe have absolutely no idea who will have a really good car and who will have an uncompetitive and unreliable one. McLaren had a decent year in 2005, but who would have guessed the team would go without a win in 2006.\nTires/tyres may be the great equalizer in 2007; with a single tire/tyre supplier, look for harder compounds than we saw this year, then look for a car that best uses its tires/tyres.

Go to local dirt track and watch real race cars drift. Modifieds, midgets, sprint cars and late models do it best.
