the more tire smoke the better. it takes a lot more controll than you think to controll the gas of a 500hp car. on a ka i can hold the pedal to the floor and not worry about lifting and just stay in the drift...barely. i can get mad angle with boost and hold it with very little throttle but to much throttle youll spin out. trust me. plus boost sounds cooler
Angle > SmokeOriginally Posted by whatever210
I don't give a sh*t how much smoke the tires put out. As long as I'm as sideways as I can get and having fun, then I'm good.
I'd say powersteering only because my RB20DET 280Z didn't have it and almost snapped my wrist when the wheel snapped on me. Also, having drifted both boosted and N/A cars, I like the feeling of N/A better. No pause for torque and the powerband is a lot smoother. It just makes for a better responding car IMO.
i never said angle over smoke.....where did i say that? i said smoke is good. and if you loosing your powerband while drifting then your completely lifting. i keep on the gas about 30%. i dont ever hardly lift unless im coming in super tight where i have to absolutely lift. that way, guess what? you stay in your power band. and if you use left foot breaking you can still keep your speed and rpm pretty well so honestly there is no reason you cant stay in power band while drifting when you have boost. i will pull away from a g35 and z if im drifting cause of how much power im pullin
oh damn non p/s almost snapped your wrist...OH SNAP lol
see awhile back i had a 1.6 turbo miata with p/s and that thing was awesome to drift/just mess around. It was real light weight and i still never wanted to take the p/s off for the simply fact i didnt want it to snap my wrist off. And the little extra power from the turbo wasnt bad but i really had to keep the rpms way up to stay in boost. I wanted to build a 1.6 with some sidedrafts and see how a slighty modded N/A car held but blew it up before i got a chance.
ANd reps to man
