Call the station and cmoplain about the info he gave. Its not a FF sport, it was and always be a RWD sport.



Yes, FF cars can drift. Cut not nearly to the extent that a RWD car can.



Kill the reporter

be back tomorrow! Then i will call in and threaten their very lives..



or sumthing like that anyway..

lol... "Granny shifting not double clutching like you're supposed to."



Whoever wrote that should be crucified for their ignorance.

 

Heheh...I hate that line in the movie. Why the f@#$ would you doubleclutch unless you're tranny is shot and/or you're downshifting? I guess maybe you do that in your FF drift car...

 

I'm gonna be that ***** that keeps kickin a dead horse but, in the sport of drifting, drifts are sustained by keeping the power to the rear wheels so that the traction threshold is past the point where the tires can grip. Now for FF cars this is obviously impossible, but with a little rally technique "left foot braking" FF cars can get the rear wheels to lock up where as the engine neutralizes the front brakes, simulating the start of a RWD engine brake or a shift lock drift, but after that its nothing more than a powerslide. Theirs also the E-brake but everyone knows that. And the only way to get the drift duration from FF cars, is to go real fast and get real sideways, which is nothing but a recipe for disaster, and will tarnish the sport of drifting when a bunch of dumbass kids in thier civic's end up killing themselves.



Just thought I vent that hot air.

 

your totally correct sir.

 

Left foot braking has nothing to do with getting the rear end out, and if your 're pressing the accelerator and the brake at the same time then I pity your transmission. The only merit to left foot braking is the fact that you can get on the brakes that bit faster, and is generally only used with semi-automatic or automatic cars which have no clutch pedals. A far more worthwhile technique IMO would be heel-toeing, but this can be hard in some cars due to awkward pedal placement - there's always the handbrake .
