well, you can find out

Why don't you find a nice stretch of bendy roads and go for a drift instead? Thats heaps more fun than dragging anyway (IMO)... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

That sounds like fun!!

Yeah, I reckon. Dragging isn't so fun, even if you win, your fuel guage still reads as low as the other guys. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Not as much skill involved either. If you shift "mad fast yo" in a straight line, you've got all the experience you need.

Driftin' is where its at. Just look at some WRC footage. Those guys are the f*cking best! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

oh well, that sux.

I love team drifting too, where you find a few nice curvy streets, and go around it with a few people, car behind car. Looks wicked from the street and passerby's, takes heaps more skill not to hit the other team mates.
