not to start any shit, but i thought it was pretty interesting.
its what some honda owners think of drifting for those who are interested.

[TokyoNights]

last thing I want to do is read what a bunch of honda owners have to say about drifting :jerkit:

[niss]

it wasn't just for you.

[No Motiv]

aint nothing wrong with hondas.....

[CoasTek240]

nothings wrong with hondas and nothings wrong with drg racing. i like both personally. but heres the thing. any kid could buy a super fast car and go straight on a track. (sure there are certain techniques and im sure there are skills as to becoming a "faster" driver)... but given you could buy a super fast car and super fast goodies and slam on the gas. and run respectable times.

where as it takes skill and practice to drift and do a good job.

fuck them....on honda tech, some one post this on honda tech if they want...
blah! to them

[TheTimanator]

Drifting= figure skating with wheels and minus the tights.
haha, they're just jealous. Some of them seem to have common sense, others are just stuck in there ways. Circuit racing, autocross, drifting and even drag racing takes all different levels of skill. I mean they think watching a drag racing is more fun to watch than drifing. Drag racing is boring to watch. Car goes straight for a 1/4 mile... Nothing against it or anythig. I go down to the strip every once and a while....it's fun to be in the car!

P.S. nothing against Hondas, just some of there owners.. :squintd:

How so? you get a car with gross amounts of horsepower, shitty tires and you do burnouts and powerslides sorry dude but not that hard
WTF?! You get a car with gross amounts of horsepower, slick tires, and stomp your foot on the gas when the light turns green... sorry "dude" but drag racing takes NO skill! Its all a matter of who has the most money into their car. Tell me.. how much skill does it take to go 100+mph in a straight line? And with all the accidents form street racing they cant even do that right... Im not saying its not fun, just that its nothin compared to drifting... sigh*

But how do you know if your getting better or not? Do you have the same judges each time? At least I know I'm gettig better because my times drop....there is no guessing when it comes to an E.T. either your ran it or you didn't ...no debate there.

How do you get better at drag racing? That doesnt even sound right...

I have sent modified mag a email telling them drifting was gay everytime they send spam to my email address. Must have sent over 100 so far.
I have given the bird to every honda that has tried to drag race me and told them that if they wanted a fast car why in the hell did they buy a civic? I must have sent over 100 birds by now...

someone said watching a drifitng event is like figure skating with 4 wheels.. LOL I couldnt agree more.. man up and line your car up with someone else. and see what time it is..
figure skating with 4 wheels huh? Think how hard it would be to figure skate with 4 wheels... Think of how much SKILL it would require to master a single technique over and over... How much control it would take to balance 4 wheels on ice. Now lets think of how gay drag racing is...

Most drag racers wont get drifting because they cant understand the concept of not winning. Just going out and showing what u can do.

[cali240sxdrifter]

damn ignorant people.

ohwell what you gonna do

[BoroBoroS13]

IMO, they are jellous. Their Honda's arnt the big thing anymore and they cant take them out drifting because they are FWD. So now they arnt getting as much attention and want to lash out saying drifting is gay and blah blah blah. Well who cares, I think drag racing is boaring and street racing isnt worth the trouble.

[Brolewigi]

There is so much shit about this topic. It pisses me off that all the FF drivers are talking shit about drifting. Because they dont have the power in their hondas to drift they get scared. I had a turbocharged Acura integra, and the costs of modifing a honda is much more than modifying a nissan, plus there is so much more to do.

People say that drifting is for show. I mean come on; driving 12 seconds in a strait line... ZZZZZZZZZ, boring. Its such BS that :barf: NASCAR, and drag racing get such high followings when its a lower skill of driving (not that Im knocking the skills of them) but there is so much more in the race community. EX. Rally. Rally is not going as fast as nascar or drag, but they are driving through a gap in trees our on the side of a moutain.
It just pisses me off when people just talkshit, Im done now.

That pretty much sums up how much they know, not even worth responding to them

[sykikchimp]

But in fact, Drifing is a driving technique for inside cornering in racing. F1 drivers, GT3 drivers and other drivers do it to achieve the lead on the inside lane while racing.

LOL.. is that so.... :bash:

[mellojoe]

Ok ok ok. Hold up.

Don't go bashing drag racing just because someone else is bashing drifting. Please.

Flamers = ricers = sh!t talking for no good reason. Don't fall into that category, please.

Drag racing is fun as hell, and its cheap. Drifting is fun as hell, but it requires a bigger pocketbook because mistakes are a helluva lot more costly. Circuit racing is fun as hell, but again requies a bit more expendable money because mistakes can be very costly. Auto-X and road course racing are fun as hell, but also require some spare cash incase of accident.

So, hate the playah, don't hate the game. ;) Just cause some moron thinks it takes no talent to recover from an opposite lock slide, don't you think it takes no talent to consistantly go fast. Drag racing is about consistancy. Drifting is all about recovery. Circuits, auto-x, and road course racing are all about course knowledge and driver input.

Don't ease up on the flaming of the retards. Just don't forget that car racing is car racing. And racing = good.

[NiSmo240luvR]

yea mellojoe i agree that drag racing is not horrible but their whole thing is disrespecting drifting as a sport....while we are just sick of the whole 17 second honda drivers who constantly rev at anything......but i definitely give respect to the people who actually are draggers and can cut consistent times...just as i would give respect to drifters for their expertise in their area of motorsports...all car stuff is kool to me, as of now ive only drifted and dragged on a track, but i cant wait to try other things....i just hate the typical honda driver/ricer especially in this case cuz they are just talking shit because they dont know about it and arent good at it.......also how the fuck do they call that boring to watch??at least the cars are taking turns, i mean dragging is kool to watch for while but how is a straight line more exciting? and yes! continue to flame the retards.....

[sykikchimp]

it's all about maturity. Their utter lack of maturity shines through as a lack of thought and respect.

[zombieman]

even though i'm no big fan of drag racing due to how boring it is... i won't disrespect it since people prefer different things. now what's cool about a RWD car is that we can run quick 1/4 mile times and also drift......i don't have nothing against ff, but i love the way a rwd feels. it :rawk:

[nokeone]

figure skating...it's actually a compliment..and rather correct...:)

[WhiteNissanS13]

they arent educated on the amount of skill needed when drifting, they just think that all there is to it is "e-brake" and you can drift just as well as anyone else, they dont know anything about the Apex, or heel-toe or techniques like that.

[zero.counter]

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and such, whether it offends you or not. Just let them be, and wash your hands of it.

If you want to change their minds, just to appeal to you, then start up a communist party or join the current dems...

i personally wouldn't consider knowledge of what the Apex of a turn is to be a technique...nor needed for drifting...

nor would i say heel-toeing is a fundamental necessity of drifting...

these are basic things anyone from a weekend AutoXer to a professional racer will know...

i think your thoughts are in the right direction as most people do underestimate what it takes to drift and a good number of them equate it with e-brake slides...but your anologies and examples are off...

think instead: feint, shift lock, braking, lift off, power over...

[deedeedum]

i wonder how many ppl with honda try to drift with them...

wheres his head at?

[nightwalker]

I use to drag race a lot. I also use to touge a lot. ... I don't drift a lot. I still drag and touge a lot.

...this post makes no sense... even to me.

[MakotoS13]

they recognize the limited fun factor of their cars and respond with childish insults. yup, pissed cause they're missin out on all the donuts :)

[TheTimanator]

wheres his head at?
haha, I was wondering the same thing.....:tweak:

[ZenkiS14]

Who cares what anyone thinks?

[AAA240SX]

SCREW THEM!! this topik makes me so sik... FF carz suck, period.
Real sports cars were made RWD or AWD, FF's are made as "economical, and safe family cars."
Honda's were never meant to be fondled with...any FF for da matter!
They need to get da KCUF outta hrr....

take on a Type R sometime...see where it leaves you...

ignorance...infects more people then AIDS...

[Dutchmalmiss]

yeah i used to have a vid with a 98 spec honda teg type R vs. a chuki 180sx. the 180 took off and the teg beat it at the end with the better top end. i can't find the vid tho. boo.

[sideviewcivic]

leave the honda owners alone, the labeling-game is addicting, we say typical honda-owner...doesnt that mean n00b in like any forum that doesnt use search button and ask very obscured questions...all of you know that nissan owners exsist like those typical honda owners...i say just screw being opinionated and do it for you not for others...dont have to prove shit to anyone but yourself...keeping views un-obstructed will keep drifting around longer...BTW riverside is building a small motorcycle track...layout is sweet enough to be used as a mini 'drift circuit' :boink: proposed site is across from where adams kart track sits

PS sorry if im thread jacking...its 430 in the morning and i pulled a double shift :ugh:

exactly. i was going to bring up the itR too. anyway...

the only thing this thread has shown me is that there's stupid shit on zilvia too. wtf does FF vs FR have to do with this thread? u ppl realize that honda makes RWD cars too, right? just drive your car and stop telling others how to drive theirs.

[sykikchimp]

the RSX, and Celica are also very badass stock handling machines in the right hands. I've seen prepped CRX's destroy M3's..

[G_Fish240]

the Hype R is a nice car yes, but I think you can build a better car for less. And of course there are FF cars that can beat FR, but thats mainly driver and amount of money put into a car.

maybe so, but the 98 is newer and probably cost more. Also put lets say 600 dollars worth of parts in both and see who wins
