Default drifting

Why the hell do you bother with these guys? They constantly contradict themselves while putting some cheap comment at the end of everything they say in order to give the illusion that they made a valid point.

Drifting takes a lot of skill, which "riceboys" dont have. You can say it's only for the "K00l" factor, but why do you watch so-called "real racing?" Is it total boredom that attracts you to it? Tsuchiya is a "real driver" and a "drifter" so why don't you all start bashing him because he's a riceboy too. This so called bandwagon crap is BS. Only difference is that you have hate on your side, while they have positive things to think about.

-Have a nice day.

Well good for you..but i doubt you even have an S2000 or a capable car for drifting....

Just jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the ride...

It doesn't take much to drift an s2k.. especially with 205's in the rear. We drifted all day yesterday in the autox practice runs down here.

no offence to any of you so called "ricers" but drifting takes alot of skill and determination to be able to do it properly which i dont think that any of you have, one small mistake can mean the differance between slamming your car into a curb/wall or coming out of a drift and goin on to do more. it might not be as fast a grip but its a bigger challange. it takes alot of skill to drift a corner alone, but tryin to do it with someone 1 to 2 feet right behind your or in front of you is very hard and makes you really test your nerves bc one mistake for either drifter could cost you alot of repairs to your car as well as theirs... so before you diss it go, out in a true drift car and try to go thru a few corners not just one turn and then stop, hold the drift thru a few corners w/o gaining RW tractiondo that by yourself then try and imagine another car doin the same thing a few feet from you and tell me its not hard.

Dont go mess any cars up tho

I never have tried real-life drifting but I know it's a lot of fun.

I have drifted in video games like GT3 before (I'm not very good so I realize if it takes skill in a game it must be pretty damn tough in real-life). Have you ever tried drifting in GT3? It's pretty fun. Soon enough GT4 will allow everyone to show off their drifting skills online (without hurting themselves or their cars) !

Drifting is not easy, and it is a lot of fun, but it eats the crap out of your tires, and will probably never win you a race. GT3 drifting and even the grand theft auto (the first one where drifting was as simple as hitting a direction key on your keyboard) drifting (while fun) are nothing like real life drifting.
