Guys... I have to bust some major rules of Drift..
Firstly Generaly you can't drift an auto... Yes you can and sometimes even better than Manuals due to Long Gearing and no need to change out of gear and have that split second pause of wheels spin which can cause major drift problems...
Secondly most people don't drift heavy cars with long wheel bases because they have no Handling and heaps of Body Roll... True it's harder, but just takes more skill....
Thirdly, Don't drift a holden or a Ford... I agree a bit.. but hey...
No a Standard VS auto won't drift, It will single wheel spin.. lots.. into something hard...
Locked diff might help, But it's your mums car.. you'll surely break something when learning...
When I said I busted some rules.. I did... I drift a 1977 ZH fairlane 500 .. nearly 2 tonnes of car... Its big, heavy, Auto a Ford.. But has a 351 and an LSD and some how I seem to be able to hold a drift.. usually in the rain..
and the 3000 rpm Stall converter helps...
You may think I am insane ... But no one else has done it... and I challenge any one else to try hehe...
I'll post some pics of a drifting Pimp machine when I can
