I hate the drift hype!


Recommended Posts

The one thing i laugh about with drift is ppl spending money on a car so it has less grip then std? Why sped $3000 on coilovers to have less grip.

You don't buy coilovers to have "less grip". My car's suspension is set up pretty much as a "drive to work and weekend track car" (slight front toe out, rear toe in, slightly more front camber and caster), the only major difference being a slightly stiffer rear swaybar and not much rear camber to keep the tyres sitting flat.

Beginnners start of with low grip, but as the speeds increase, so does the need for grip on demand. My car was set up by a guy who specialises in racing Commodores. I reckon he'd know something about making cars grip.:D

I took it out to Wakefield in stock condition and drove it, and have done the same since with all "drift" mods installed. It goes four seconds faster, with only 0.1 bar more boost.

Its not a form of motorsport, its not tested against a stopwatch.

Neither is freestyle or vert skateboarding/wakeboarding/big air motorcross, and nobody seems to have a problem with that. :uh-huh:
