drifting or drag?

[ruffwhr2]

Hey, just wanted to know what you guys like more, drifting or drag racing? I live in south florida and the drag racing scene is huge (whether its on the street or strip) the drifting scene has really just started to catch on down here in the last couple of years. both are great but I'm still a drag fan....

[Brian]

I like drifting more.
Never really tried drag racing, but I judged it as something I don't like at all.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

neither.

grip

[khilgers]

drifter car racing

[ThatGuy]

Drag racing is boring to watch and get's boring to do.

Drifting, well I've seen too many cars destroyed by it.

Grip is always fun to me.

BTW, anything on public roads is stupid and should not be discussed or glorified in a Public Setting like this.

[Leo-kun]

DRIFT!
There's no excitment in drag racing.
Espeacially when taken to the streets, it looks ricey IMO.

[240cracker]

drag is all about the car not the driver i say....

drifting is about what a driver can do and the car ;)

[NemeGuero]

he with the most money wins in drag racing.

[Nismoknightska-t]

[DDSR240]

To me there is nothing like humiliating cars that cost 5 times more than my car if not more in most cases with my red coupe that dosen't even look good enough for a salvage yard.:w00t:

[shadow_s13]

neither.

drag, never tried it, not interested. boring

grip, used to a lot for a few years, got very bored with it...no excitement

drifting, my anti drug

[Matej]

Obviously you haven't been watching Formula D.

Drifting and drag racing are the same thing.

[NemeGuero]

hahahahaha yessss

[ruffwhr2]

he with the most money wins in drag racing.

I have drifted and I haved dragged, both get pricey especially when you get into competitive competition, so i dont think theres a big difference there.

[TPS240sxS13]

I tryed drag and it was fun and all but I know I love drifting more cuz at the end of the track I keep wanting drift the u-turn. ^_^

[LongGrain]

i believe you extracted the wrong message from that statement.

Yes there is, he with the most money gets more power=winner.

It takes skill, if you can't see that your just being arrogant.

[Andrew Bohan]

i would say it doesn't take AS MUCH skill to drag race

[[email protected]]

drift easy drag only take 13 sec drifting is fun and a lot longer then 13 sec

[pinkarrowsnow]

drag takes alot of car skill depending on power/track conditions and actually getting your car to hook up and launch right.

[dirtdiggler666]

ummm drag when im too old to do the above

You can do it well without spending crazy money as compared to hitting reputable times in drag racing.

[MetricHotrods.com]

i use my car for F1.

[JDMB0iKT]

mtfn grip!

[Shift n Drift]

drifting is more of a rush, after you hit the fastest time that your car can hit, it gets boring, and since your in this thread i would think you guys kno what drifting feels like:ughd:

[steve shadows]

This is a drag racer converted to grip.

It really is amazingly better, but grip racing with drag level horsepower get's expensive (setting up the car properly that is).

Still have track outings on hold for quite a while until I get some more sorted

I think the big problem is 1/4 mile tracks are almost none existent in southern cali, if there were more present and they were not obscenely overcrowded, I would do drag racing more often.

It's a good place check a car and driver skill and much cheaper for a track outing, but MUCH less time on the track ;) especially if the car is fast. Then it's a good thing ;)

[unlegendary]

drifting gets girls numbers.

seeing a half torn bumper at a car meet is gangster.

i like seeing the biggest width wheels with the lowest offset

what else has this drifting trend started?

oh oh, zipties ftw! jimmy up!

drifting <3

[one_flip]

I like to Drag in a Circular Motion around a plastic cone. All in my Hyundai Civic Type-Si.

I am capable of grip, but I would love to increase my skills in drifting.

It all costs money, mang!

[Team DET]

Drag ftw.......

[one_flip]

Did I mention that my FWD Beast has an RB26DETTTT??? Quad Turbo just like those slow ass Bugatti Veyrons...

[Matej]

Hardparking is the best.

But I also enjoy using my car for transportation and cruising victory laps around the mall.

[LongGrain]

Hardparking is the best.

beat me to it.

[jdm538]

i like both..

drag is fun if you have a fast car, drifting is just fun just more wasteful *tires*

[landins13]

drag is all about the car not the driver i say....

drifting is about what a driver can do and the car ;)



for all the guys who think drag racing doesnt involve skill yet complain about trying to street 300whp, have no room to talk.

i agree drifting and grip require alot of skill, i enjoy doing both, but i would like to see any drifter try to control a 900whp civic, or a mustang that runs 7's doing a wheel stand the whole way

[Knapik]

i personally live my life a quarter mile at a time....but thats just me...

"a wheel stand the whole way" is that possible without slamming into a wall? is there a way to steer the rear wheels on these 7 sec mustangs?

Girls in South FL. like clean cars. I'm a 240sx/Silvia enthusiast. drifting is cool but it puts a beaten on a car(as far as having hanging bumpers etc.).
I like tucking big wide wheels under the car flush.

LOL drag racing for sure, If it gets boring its because your car aint fast enough

[s13dan]

yea drag is boring unless its on the street, and that can be costly in more than a few ways..Most drift cars can autocross great with small tweaks.

Drift and grip>drag

[Xbroke_kidX]

damn....I was one up'd by ostrich racing haha

[koukikat180sx]

Grip and Drift

[Nduggs]

Grip and Drift. Drag racing isn't bad, but just doesn't do it for me.

[ericcastro]

Drag is boring.
Transbrake button for launch,
gearing and tune for the rest of the work
whats the driver do??
track conditions decide tire temp that you should have.
whats the driver do??

Just my opinion growing up watching my brother drag race for a company.
drag racing is a rush when your young, but once you get used to driving for awhile, its boring.

Straight line with a max speed of 100MPH then hurry and stop
vs.
2 car lengths off another 240's bumper, Motley Crue blasting, entering a corner sideways at 75MPH and doing 2 car tandem drift, engine maxed out, in oversteer, tires smoking, dirt dropping the rear tire on the exit with a speed of 50MPH as you and the other car toss the wieght, and MAhji down the straight together with your passenger giggling like a little girl.


Episode of Pinks
vs.
Any HTM ASB video

LMAO, DRAG, only in Florida and High School kids.

[yurisfriendevan]

i like pretty much any racing, if it has 2 or 4 wheels and goes then race it!

lol i have too many projects, rally car, drift car, grip car, drag car, daily ......


crap.

[Andrew Bohan]

aww no love for the powered unicycle sled races?

[yurisfriendevan]

Hell ya! just take the front wheel off of your motorcycle attach a snow shovel to it and go!

[all show no go]

ehh, I'm more into drifting, but when I watch cars racing at the streets of willow looks soooooo much fun too.. I'd rather drift and grip than dragrace anyday.. I'm always down for a nice old fashioned sack race though.. :keke:

Yeah especially if you have a built automatic with a ratchet shifter.

[420sx]

you guys never drove 1500 hp mustangs bebefore. you can't grip all the way to the finish.

but the thread is stupid by itself. different motorsports. totally.

[Boost Almighty]

why go fast when you can go sideways ! :rawk:

[Nismoknightska-t]

Yeah especially if you have a built automatic with a ratchet shifter.


yup.. i have both on the way for my drag/street car!

[480sx]

he with the most money wins in drag racing.

No idea..

Drag racing brackets make it so anyone can compete. You dont have to have lots of money to win a bracket. You can spent 10g's and get a car that will run 12's no problem and win a nice sized pot if your consistent.

Also someone said drag gets boring.. Dude, try duplicating the feeling of a 800+ HP launch on slicks, then the decel of pulling the chutes. You dont get board of that, ever.

+1 for GRIP :D

[Flicktitty]

comairing Drag racing to Drifting is like compairing apples to oranges.

It takes. Money and SKILL in both forms of motorsports.

For those saying anyone can go in a straight line. how fast is your car in a straight line? maybe it's cause you have a Sr swap and you maybe on a good day go 13's. yah. that's boring. once you get going 12/11/10/9/8/etc it's a whole new ball game.

i'm a CAR enthusiast. i enjoy them all. it all depends on the mood.

[AndyCs13]

i like both a lot. drifting is fun because it is kinda an art.

and drag is fun because you actually get to feel the power you make.

[womenbeshoppin]

This thread is filled with so many fucking fanboys. It makes me glad I don't have a 240 anymore.

[Jmac39]

Drag racing+++++++

[steve shadows]

People who think drag racing is " What does the driver do " have not done any serious drag racing.

I had more fun at the road course but drag racing required an equal level of skill, consistency and nerve, especially at higher output levels.

Most of the reason I left is because shady lack of payouts, dwindling scene (west coast) and the immature people who crowded a lot of the industry.

This has now spilled over into drifting too now. Pretty much anything that is made into a fast and furious movie and people eventually conform and consume.

I think bonniville or top speed testing is a great sport, but it is much more apparent in europe than the US or Australia or Japan.

:bow:

[s13_coupekilla]

Autocross for serious racing if you want to be a race car driver & drift for hobby and fun and friends and having fun. Drag is a drag.

[Fonix36]

Let me answer a question with a question...
Do you drive a Honda or a Nissan?
done

[jspeedm]

if i had the money to go 300mph in 4sec i would drag race but i dont so i will stick with grip.

[420sx]

This thread is filled with so many fucking fanboys. It makes me glad I don't have a 240 anymore.

good, so why don't you go and cry in a corner after you delete your account since you contribute nothing to threads?:squintd:

[420sx]

actually whoever said about honda, they make great cars. light chassis with a b series or k20 swap with some mods and tuning run very decent times, especially compared to domestics, which are fun also.

drag is different from drift and nothing can be said to compare the two in skill.

but drifting to me is definitely more fun. it is an art. skill based art

[OTG Vinyl]

For general goofing off, powersliding can't be beat.

[twotoes]

I like watching drifting, I love watching amateur drag racing. Im not a fan at all of top fuel monsters but if I go to a drag strip and watch a daily driver run a 10-11 sec 1/4 mile...there is nothing cooler.

however.......ROAD COURSE RACING FTW!

[wgJoY]

ummm drag when im too old to do the above

wow i just burst out laughing when i read this.


and me?

GRIP SON.


grip that.

Drag.

Drifting is quite fun though, just something I don't want to put my car at a higher risk with.

Grip, never tried it.

[randyjordan]

side car racing...

[OBEEWON]

Both are boring to watch. Drifting is more fun to do, drag can be cheaper.

There is no such sport as grip driving...stop saying it.

[smelly240]

LOL i love you othbax. Drift Maxima > 240sx.

Drifting is fun but i hate everyone, and on the east coast its fag city.

I just street race with hondas and cop cars and brag about it on the inernet with the puter my mom bought me for christmas

[OBEEWON]

^^^True story^^^

Cop was mad he lost, so he turned on his lights and took his license.

[jonnybonds84]

I still haven't broke my drifting cherry, I've gotten brave when it rains though (Does that count?). I think I would like drag more still.

[cmedrift240]

use to drift but i found the time attack disease, although drifting is still in my blood, i found disease for grip.

[smelly240]

Drag racing cops still owns it - the cops dont wanna drift with you.
