its harder than manual cuase u cant just clutch kick it but its not bad. mine is auto right now (dont have time to swap it over cause of school) and i get decent angle. i just stay in first and bounce of the revs and maybe even switch it to 2nd.

some people have told me becuase my car is automatic that i have more time to think about my steering work then rather thinking about should i clutch kick this here or simply turn in w\ more throttle. I feel that i have more of a handicap with the throttle responce from shifting up and down rather being able to clutch kick. a second drawback is not being able to ebrake + clutch in + gas to keep revs up, so i have to work around that also. Brake drifting is hard as hell becuase you cant aid w\ the help of a lower rpm slow clutch out to help upset the rear. Some times w\ street or if track condidtions are good, i can get the car almost a revolution countersteer on a brake drifto with a little more then a year of hard drifting.

i dont post much here, some of you might have remembered a past thread where i was "discussing" auto vs manual drift, pros and cons.

lol, i think he was on the radio informing the starting gate that there was a spin on the track and not to let anyone else out until he got going again. fyi

auto drifting is possible, i would much rather have a 5spd though for the functionality.

i got the 5spd in the garage, just need to find down time to install
