I just wonder how many of you have really mastered heel-toe shifting.....(its pretty hard)

Also, after watching Initial D (a japanese anime) I was wondering how hard would it be to drift a maxima, or drifting is more for RWD cars?

intial d..

thats a pretty tight show. i wish we could do that.lol. anyways i found out that you can not drift in a front wheel car. how do i know. 1)sources on the net and the all the ppl i talk too say you cant.2)experience by pulling the "opps bar" (e-brake)and letting my rear wheels lock up while gassing it around a corner.(40mph)3)if you can do it like the pro's do then i give you madd props. peace brian
p.s.=oh i got some video photage of us trying to do it. all of us from mx-6,maxima,bmw,and a mustang. preety funny. if i can find out how to put the video on the net then all of you can watch it.peace

you can drift a fwd

you can drive an FWD car, but it wont be as prolonged or spectacular as a RWD car. there are pictures of a guy drifting his nasty old dedicated drifter civic in super street last year some time... he had a little crew called the slide squad or something like that...

I you have speedvision, check out their GT cup races--you can see mad drfting in all types of cars. The last race I watched had some civics, some bmw's...it was really cool. In fact the winner was an integra type R.

It's probably pretty easy to drift out a max as compared to, say, and accord, with the amount of torque they push in comparison to most FWD cars.

Instead of heel / toe

Try adding a little side to side action. It's a lot easier to do than a full heel-toe.
