E-Brake Options

[o0black0o]

Simple question i think.

Does hitting the e-brake condone a massive use of gas?

I have this one corner that is perfect for sliding my back in around, so I hit the e-brake and tap the break to make it lose traction. After it like 2 mintues my gas meter just falls down alot .

I've covered this too many times...  "Drift/Drifting" as a verb, is losing traction in all 4 wheels.  "Drift/Drifting" as a noun is the sport of controlling that traction loss.  FWD cars CANNOT "drift" like the noun because they cannot maintain that traction loss for more than a few seconds without MASSIVE understeer (like off the road/track understeer).  FWD cars can do the verb "drift" (traction loss in all 4 corners)... all cars can do the verb.  The only people who try to "drift" their FWD imports are the people trying to jump in on the new fad.  I hear too many drifting stories at work... and it all gets REALLY boring REALLY fast.  The American import tuning world really butchers and fogs the truth that the sport (drifting) requires a LOT of skill to do and is NOT for FWD cars.

Very well put. Although I still do believe FWD can drift, they just can't do it very well, and it's not near as graceful as a RWD. So, in a since, I agree. I think I'm almost in full agreement at this time. I maintain my stand on FWD cars sliding, if you dissagree with that, your just dumb. Maybe my opinions also stem from my lack of interest in drifting and lack of understanding. I think of it a lot more as the verb, and not so much ever as the noun. Man, I love a good discussion. Kwanza, whether you're on my side or against me, you always seem to have your ducks in a row. I do know that drifting requires a ton of driver skill, I am not clear on the rules of it though.

Tina, that graffic is just horrable. Gives me goose bumps.
