dont listen to him, that was a dift, if you could combine two or more of them in a row, it would look alot better, its just that you didnt roll into it is why people arent thinkinhg its a drift

a controlled slide around a a turn with rear or front and rear wheels spinning is a drift

"spinning the tires and sliding," if stretched could be used to describe a launch...couldn't it?

hey i did what u did to a lesser extent. its really fun but i dont think the diff likes it very much.

drift = *** of car is sliding and back tires burnin out while front ones are guiding you.

you slide on a launch? maybe up hill on ice. you know what that can be true because its friction that is lost when doin a launch, and it is the same friction that is lost durring a drift.

The verdict is in thats a drift my friend

ohh this is drifting

I've gotten the tail of my legacy out a few times. Most recently coming out of a car wash I was turning left, about midway through the turn I stepped on it and the tail stepped out and I went down the road like that for awhile before it stepped back in. Dont doubt the power of your legacy.

damn, this thread never ends. But guys, i just post up vids to share and let everyone see what Im doing with my Sube and get comments. Im not here saying i "drift" perfectly or i know exactly how to drift! I just got my car and and learning slowly.

but all in all, AWD cars can drift, but Im quite far from my car to be setup for that. So I am just trying to do what I can.

comments are all welcome!
keep them coming and I will keep more vids coming as I get them.
Thanx and

Drift on!!!
