i disagree, this thread is very amusing.. it cant get any better then some guy getting caught in his own lies, and having everybody taking a giant shit on him

and that video up there of the entry ^^ was just

ranger240

perfect points. Prior to 240xtc et al turning this into a school-yard bickerfest, there were great comments and discussions about drifting/differing viewpoints of where the 240sx community is going.

in trying to get this thread back in order




what do you guys think of the above film when it comes to drifting?


also, do you guys think winter 240sx/rwd driving changes impressions of drifting?


in lots of ways techniques and skills required to drift and to adequately drive in snow are similar. one could call drifting's huge popularity on the west coast as in-part a result of the fact you lucky rust-free california car drivers dont get the great opportunity to slide the hell out of your car all the time for months out of the year.

One of the main points in that "bickerfest" is that people like the above mentioned are whats currently wrong with the "drift scene" here in the states.


I absolutely love that movie and most of Steve McQueens work for that matter. But absolutely nothing in that scene has anything to do with drifting.
More along the lines of insanely heavy cars, with garbage handling, and huge V8s in the front, trying to rally the streets of S.F.

I dont get the question

Wouldnt snow and adverse weather give you the same opportunities?
Obviously theres more risk on ice but it seems to me like a lot of the Japanese drivers credit a lot their drifting ability to the fact that they had to learn to drive in crazy Japanese winters.
and yeah sucks for you guys about the rust.

Drifting is big on the west coast because CA is blessed with the largest population of poser douchebags in the world.
Has nothing to do with weather trust me.

we are also closer to japan so we get shit FIRST.

somewhat. ironically it takes added skill to maintain a loss of traction (in dry conditions) which separates drifting from what you're talking about. drifting in the rain is fun and better for building confidence especially on a tight course!

it's a cool montage.
to bad you couldn't post it into your post...
how do they do that?

For the record no body has proved 240XTC wrong... Just becuase no one has seen him drift doesn't mean he is a liar... means you havent seen him drift.

WRC is something I can honestly say I've been into since Y2K. My dad introduced it to me. But that's it. I've never attended an event or been in a rally car unless it was some car show. WRC is still, by far, my favorite.

The first thing I saw was the WRX in Sweden. Still my event location today.

It's a shame this video has music..


Screw a drift spec roll cage... I want WRC spec roll cage, lol

Careful now, if you keep sticking up for him, he's liable to comeback here and post about how much of a nut swinger you are to him, and how his semen is on your chin, and all the other immature comments that he can come up with, since he can't seem to form an actual argument.

Now, let's stop talking him, and his outrageous claims, and focus on the other areas of Drifting that some people think are stupid. Though his attitude and approach to this discussion, seems to be the very thing everyone dislikes the most.

Thankyou.



The kind of drifting that is done in the snow, wet, WRC or movies is usually different then "Drifting" as we think about it. These are almost always done after the Apex of a turn.

The Motorsport of Drifting means you initiate the drift before the turn, and hold it as smoothly as possible.(this includes outlaws and other sports that used it long before the "JPN" style).

Just seperating the two schools to save any head butting

Not arguing with anyone. But have you driven a new Mustang and drifted it? Me and a friend went to a car lot and test drove a 6 cylinder model for shiggles and did some sliding in it where I used to take my 240 and it really was impressive towards drifting. I mean you can buy a Mustang like that for the same price as a Z nowadays if you watch out for them. Im still stepping up to a Z one day but I also wouldnt pass up the coverage JR gets from Ford if I were him. We had a nice conversation with him about the RTR and his thoughts on Mustangs. Youd be suprised...

This is also what makes drifting so stupid.

21 years old, yet openly admits illegal activities in a public venue.

Good job "Corey". You've done your part to lower the expectations of your generation and hobby.

i agree...but to me...any version of the style is great...WRC just gives that extra umph of loose dirt/rain/snow...

its just one of those few things that can be done in all types of weather...

obviously in a controlled environment...

drift freaq

I can honestly say that growing up in area's with a lot of rain or snow can be advantageous to learning car control. I know growing up in Palo Alto in the rain did help.

What sucks about the current state of drifting is several things.

While competition can be cool and fun the way its currently done in FD sucks. Not being able to pass your opponent in a drift is bullshit.

That is one of the things( being able to pass your opponent) that makes the competition more of a competition and race and less of just an exhibition. Unfortunately the powers that be in FD just fail to realize that.

Like others have said the focus on crashing as well. Improperly setup courses is that can enhance the crash factor is another.

The other stuff is the fanboy, the kids that cannot drive but buy the cars and improperly set them up. A lot of this has already been brought up already so I do not think I need to go over it again.

This whole discussions pointless.

Lets either get Eddiee in here to lie,
not follow through on his word,
not post videos,
and claim photoshoped pictures are really his friends in the most epic drift ever,

Or lets get more cats.





this week on zilvia started good................

-You know who I am, Hit me up.

I dont even know what the hell to say about that picture other than you still look like a waste of life.

? What kind of name is Crimson Rockett? Usually has a meaning to it right? Its personal preference Mr Moderator guy.


I suppose fuh fuh fuh freak.


Hey, set an example and be a good moderator. Try to have a discussion with out bad words. Why the hell do you spell rockett with a double (TT) know one knows, but you did it. Idiot

Then do something freak.

Finally learned how to count Mr Moderator guy? Dont understand why your a moderator when your ultimate goal is to unite. Read back very carefully and tell me where I lied?

Thank you for modding though. I really do appreciate it ( no sarcasm)

I see you're still saying my name. I told you what to google/youtube and have given you a name to do so correct? Also, when you quote someone, make sure you quote the whole statement. Dont be a bitch, bitch.

DreamN
