What does that mean? It's better because it doesn't talk during and doesn't stay around afterward?We have a winner.

Just so that people aren't confused by incorrectly used terms, one cannot powerslide without applying power, i.e. the drive wheels. "@ss dragging" would be a more accurate term.

That is all.

well since ya started this thread over again.. I will join in. lol.

Another thing Pull E-brake and let off gas. GO Full Throttle when Dropping the E-brake when you drop the e-brake your car should be nice and sideways.

As far as LSD. I have had it where only my passenger tire would move. but other times I have had both tires spinning. Not sure what the deal is there.

I have drifted and love it. My beach parking lot is setup so nice for drifting. Other then the Giant Rock wall on the side. All U Turns. that are Very wide.

Put it in 1 or 2 and go for it. Just watch for snap back. that can hurt sometimes.

Is it me or is my auto transmission done..

It slips..after 3 or so runs on a laid out course my auto trans start to slip.( feels like 5th gear from a stop in a 5speed)i have No torque.. cant spin the wheels.. i can only force the car into slide using the weight.then after that.. i str8tn out because i don't have the torque to spin them.Its so frustrating

Luckily i planned to swap the auto out this year..hopefully before December on my budget.

um yea a supercharged V8 doesnt require driving technique like a low HP 4cyl does.
