well if you think you going to flip use me as an example, i am always trying to drift (trying) every now and then i can get a good slide, and i am a little crazy like taking the on ramps to the free ways at 40-50mph just to get a good slid never once have i even felt my tires lift off the ground and my sups. is shot, i did almost hit a stop sign the other day taking a corner at roughly 60mph hit some gravel and tires locked up! it was fun, i couldn't stop laughing

All i'm gonna say is this. Take a turn at anything more than 25 and expect to be repairing your roof and windshields. Off ramps are 25 for a reason you know.
I take 25mpg off ramps at 50+... tires bite down, no drifting, sliding, or flipping. Do you have 10-speed wheels and tires on your car?

Hehe, i was just playin. I love taking offramps fast. I get so mad when people slow the **** down and go like 20 on an offramp. Nothing like blasting out of it going 60 and barely having to get up to speed.

rx7's wont flip even if you tried........



except if you have a ramp, a huge curb, or antigravity machine

Doing donuts in the car will not flip it.. I can vouch for that.. Leaving the Palmdale track out here the only time I have taken the vert, I decided to do some donuts.. The car just slides like it is on ice.. but since the front wheels have a bit of traction you just steer to make the rear end swing around in the direction you want.. it is quite nice.. But a waste of tire rubber.. hahahha.. those ricer boys never expected the show I gave em..

Actually my buddy hit a curb drifting in his MIATA and he flew about 4-5 feet in the air, hit the stop sign, bend it over as he was coming back down, landed on the ground a little sideways and broke the front and rear A-arms and wheels hehe that was the first time we found out the Mazdaspeed wheels he had were cast HAHA because they were in pieces. GRANDED this was about 3 years ago, when we all use to drift a lot, or just the back side of drifting on our way to draggin LOL

what do you mean by "donuts?"



I often go on dirt, turn my wheel all the way to one side, climb the revs, and pop the clutch. Good ol' dirt-cloud fun! I really see no chance of flipping in that situation, unless King Kong walked up, grabbed my car, and threw it.

actually i think GODZILLA would be the one kicking your car to flipage and beyond. but not before like 50 japanese people ran around shouting "LOOK!! IT'S GODZILLA!!!!!!" then you would say (note: said in the vocie type of speed racer) "NO WAY! this cannot be HA HA! this must be a fantastic joke that people play on my because i am a drifter! HA HA! oh wait, what is that!! it is godzilla! i must drift around his feet like giant cones at drift day!!" then that was the end of baldy, no one heard his crys over GODZILLA. no one looked back to see his carcass heaving through the air at mach 5 speed.



live well, drift well, watch out for godzilla!

yeah it won't flip unless you slam into a curb sideways
at rery high speeds with worn out suspension and a lot of body roll.



id think ur countrol arms and suspension would just break and bend "F"ing up ur wheels and folding em under the car b4 u rolled the car.



id just say if flipping ur car is what ur worried about dont try learning on any mountain roads with steep drops and for that matter dont try drifting over a bridge, near a river, on elevated exit/on ramps, or lumpy forrest roads...



lol yea im with most the guys, if u flip ur car ill personally shake ur hand and congradulate u, then take pics
