Tanner Foust: Street drifting

[Chaotic_Warlord]

This is how we get down up here in the NJ/Philly area, and the editing is way better than what Rockstar put out.

Yeah it's on a track, but E-Town is a horrid track, plus most of these guys are on the XDC and Semi-Pro circuits. Not to mention everyone here does it because the love it, not to make money or because it's cool.

How the hell can that scion drift? Its got a RWD conversion?

I can't wait until the summer to drive there. I would say that 45-65% of them drift in competitions. And you go to clubloose, I didn't think anyone from nico went there.

May 7-9 in carlisle PA, Get to meet NALA, me, and most of the staff!check the thread~!

Sound like fun but I don't know if I can make it because my car won't be insured until the summer, its 3 hours away and I'm still 16. Maybe I can talk my bro into driving down. And do you have a link for this supposed thead?

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Dude, there's a lot of people on here from Clubloose, they just don't post that often, OMGJacki, JDMWill, and Kaleo are all CL people and members on here, but like I said not many posts from any of them.

Do you spectate or drive?

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Last year I just watched, might try to get some seat time in later this summer, need to get my suspension replaced and weld the diff.

I dislike the tC cause it's not a real rwd car. I don't think they should be in Formula D. Also, this video was hardly as good as Gymkhana 1 or 2. Good nonetheless, but hardly on that level.

I am 100% certain that car is in fact a REAL RWD car. What consists of fake RWD? That tC has it's powering wheels in the back.

Most of that car doesn't consist of a tc, I would say 85-95% of that car is from different cars.

[car nut]

What consists of fake RWD?

A fwd economy car converted to rwd so Toyota can go drifting and be "in touch" with the tuner crowd/younger generation.

[93coupe]

You know that the majority of drift cars are economy cars, right? If you can't appreciate the amount of fabrication that went into making that "not real rwd car" you don't need to watch motor sports.

[car nut]

Why don't you keep putting words in my mouth. Who said I don't appreciate the fabrication work? I'm sure hundreds of hours went into making that car, but that doesn't change my opinion on it.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

The TC is hated because in order for it be RWD you have to completely change the car, so stupid amount of fabrication are involved. While the amount of fab to create it is an awesome endeavor the fact that it's not a plug and play application makes it unattainable by the Average Joe. I don't like a lot of cars that are considered drift cars anymore. If it's not a S Chassis, an RX, a Hachi, or an of the old school japanese tuners/muscle cars then it's not good enough. While Vaugns Mustang is awesome and get the job done with a vengeance it's pretty much the only non Japanese car that I like on the Pro Drift circuit.

I got into a huge argument with J-Rod and a bunch of others on Drifting.com last year about how the FD circuit is just the NASCAR of drifting, they're all about marketing and less about the motorsport, they accept sponsors who have nothing to do with the drifting culture (let alone cars in general) like Sears, Home Depot, Best Buy, etc... All the major sponsors have discarded the cars that made this popular in light of Scion TC's, Porsche 911, Dodge Vipers, Corvettes, and Solstices. While the Solstice is a little rocket and attainable to everyone, it's not a drift car, it's a chick car for cruising down by the beach.

I understand that the Rx7's and S-chassis' of old are old and becoming extinct, but to go and have to rebuild a car from the ground up to convert it from a weak FWD cahssis to a SC NASCAR V8 powered drift monster is a bit far fetched. Utilize what is already out there, the RX8, WRX's, EVO's, 350/370Z's, S2K's, Mustang's, Charger's/Challenger's, and Camaro's. While I don't support the use of Domestic muscle, they do come from the factory pretty much ready to drift and until Nissan builds a a replacement for the S-Chassis and Toyota releases the new Hachi in a couple of years we're stuck with what is out there on the Domestic market.

and ESPECIALLY this, thats why i hate formula D, its too dam commercialized

[Mychal]

How the hell can that scion drift? Its got a RWD conversion?

That has to be scary as s***...riding up there 5 feet above the center of gravity.

[rodmod720]

that is a beautiful road. i wish they would make a track that looked like that around here. heck i'd be happy with something other than a dragstrip.

[troskinatior]

Here is another one of those gymkhana type videoshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImKsYRrAIeQ

[maplyjesse]

closed course.professional driver.

pretty much like when cars drift in commercials.i see nothing wrong with it,if he was out there on his own drifting a race car around on the streets sure.

but the law was fully aware of his actions, and it was done as a stunt.

check again:

Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors.

did you really just argue FOR fwd "drifting"

get a life. a** dragging is not drifting.

[themadscientist]

It's all ghey anyway. It's like trying to argue that Hinder isn't as pop-rocky as Nickelback.
