AWD Drift?!

[Novec64]

Let me start by saying that I am not trying to drift my DSM. This thread just seems like an interesting comparison in regards to the capabilities of our cars. Any opinions on how true his statements about DSM's are? AWD Drifting Technique - A Definitive Guide

That's a bad ass video. I definitely enjoyed watching it. Do you, or anyone else, know of any videos with something 4g63 powered doing anything comparable to the Audi in the first video?

I though its called gymkhana not drift for the AWD.

 

[Novec64]

Gymkhana can be an AWD, FWD, or RWD thing. Gymkaha grid seems like a lot of fun as well.

Ive never heard of this. I thought they "disabled" (for lack of a better word) the front drive system and drift with it as an AWD???

Me neither. The front tires on that Audi sure are smoking though.

left foot brakeing, that's how they do it, I'll find a video on youtube for you later tonight

That first video was epic It seemed like they were getting over 90 degree angles STILL under control! Thats ####ing amazing...the only down side i see is all the smoke coming from the front tires may make it hard to see.

The second vid would have been better without the subbie still was last off the line when they all launched haha

I wonder if they use the same techniques to drift and what effects it has on the awd parts? regardless looked amazing i want to try it out

Somewhere in europe, or maybe russia.

Being a former evo guy. We called it "power sliding". Lots a fun and easy to do....
Practice by taking a wide turn at moderate speed and then gas it aggressively (do not floor it!) once you feel the rotation start, counter steer and floor it! Once you get this down. Advance to the "Scandinavian flick". Hella Fun! and just in case you don't what that is... Scandinavian flick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i think there is a thread somewhere that in dsms its harder to do because its a perfect 50/50 distribution of power while in evos and stis is split like 60/40 or something

If anything its the other way around. 60/40 for DSM's. I wanna know how he was able to do this, I know my 1g just likes to plow

Thats why it likes to plow. think about it why do fwd cars have horrible understeer? because all the power is in the front wheels.

 

[cookmeup272]

Lol yes I know this. That is why I said DSM's are 60/40. You said DSM's are 50/50 and EVO's are 60/40

 

[bNasty]

60/40 as in 60 in the rear

 

[cookmeup272]

haha I thought it was standard convention that xx/yy, being xx=front and yy=rear. Are you dyslexic?

 

[standard235]

Explain to me how a DSM has more power to the front than the back.

 

[cookmeup272]

I will after you explain to me how DSM's have more power going to the rear than the front.
