To many, myself included, drifting will always be what the current/previous definition of drifting is/was.

Let us not forget there was once a time when FWD 4-cylinder cars could not "by definition" drag race.

and thats perfectly acceptible.
To me, The definition of Drifting is to simply find the slowest way around a track. and I dont want to go slower around a track

Yeah It was definately not like the powerslides that the rear wheel drive cars do I wasn't looking to "DRIFT" and get sideways. But Nookiemonster mentioned that you could not oversteer a FWD car, which isn't the case. There is throttle lift oversteer, then if you throttle your car it will straighten out, atleast thats what I have tried in wet weather with 22mm rear anti roll bar. I have oversteered a few times and I had no trouble correcting the car
. I mean I aint gonna get my car sideways but It doesn't mean the tail end of my car doesn't loose traction and want to come around. FWD drive cars just oversteer for diff reasons I guess. Last edited by nindoo; Mar 10, 2005 at 02:48 PM.
