Is Drifting..."Shit"? So I've been around the

It's fun
I like it
Every form of racing o sport in general has a ignorant dumbasses for fans. All of them

>>14196063

>Firstly I think drifting is stupid. I think it's slow, pointless

Personal Opinion
Only if you are shit
Yes

If you don't like it cool, if you do cool. I used to get out and do it as much as I could, I found it fun as hell but hey, thats me.

>>14196063
Watch Drift Bible by Keiichi Tsuchiya if you want to understand the skill behind drifting.

The only drifting that sucks is commercialized BS with 1000hp cars "drift cars" which can initiate just by tapping the gas pedal.

240sx price jumped from ssc sr20det article. Not tokyo drift

>>14196073
But couldn't you have as much, if not MORE fun driving around a track correctly, setting up your car in several different combinations, engineering parts and doing modifications to the chassis to squeeze out a consistent 3/10 instead of just burning rubber and wasting energy?

I think drifting can be fun...but it's kind of novel in my opinion. Like after the first 5 times there's no point in doing it anymore.

Drifting looked dumb to me when I was younger, but eventually I got the appeal, especially once I linked it up with my love of Group B and how they just fucking threw and slid cars through curves. The idea of taking control of and making a sport of a car that's basically losing control is cool. It's kinda like speed skating versus track running.

There's appeal to having a planted car that can carve up a corner too, but the plus side of drifting is you can more or less do it in any semi sporty RWD shitbox. It's more accessible to me.

>I feel that they're all just idiots who like loud noises and explosions.

That's been a staple of car culture for a hundred years.

>>14196081
Ya I was going to mention Tsuchiya earlier. But he's not just a drifter. He's really a thoroughbred racer and in an interview he stated that drifting got the crowd interested. I'll find the article and post it so you guys can see.

>>14196087

I did have fun setting up my car in different combinations for tracks/wanted speed/grip, engineering parts and doing modifications to the chassis and suspension to squeeze out more angle and grip, while burning sweet rubber and energy.

>>14196110
>except rally
Rally is particularly bad.
The average rally fan is an utterly retarded Man U supporting twonk.

>>14196090
I agree with the idea that rally racing and group B are amazing but the idea that Rally racing and drifting are similar in any way is kind of idiotic. Your reasons make perfect sense but comparing drifiting at 90mph on dirt to drifting for shits and giggles kind of seems like an apples to oranges comparison. The surface plays a large roll in rally racing's use of the drift.

Actually RallyX is a perfect example of surfaces that require different approaches.

>"Am I just an asshole for feeling this way??" Are my reasons just me projecting my own ignorance onto others when it comes to the drift scene?
Yes, you are an asshole. Allow me to explain...
Drifting isn't ment to be fast, it's ment to be fun. Have you ever been proper drifting? It's fucking fuuuun.

>if I'm honest I think anyone can not only learn to drift but learn to drift quickly and accurately
True and not true. It's easy enough to learn to drift, just like driving is easy, but driving fast is hard. Same idea. A 200hp car will be easy to drift if properly set up, but getting it to go sideways, quickly, and with crazy angles, is actually kinda hard, especially when attempting to repeat. Drifting slow = easy enough, anyone can do it if they try, Drifting fast/well/repetitively = pretty hard

>ignorant, dumbasses who have no appreciation for engineering and how hard it is to produce a car that properly goes round a corner!
I can't speak to the entire community, but those who enjoy it, can appreciate proper track cars, some may even have a track car. But it takes a huge amount of engineering to make the aftermarket parts that can take a car going sideways, into a proper drift car. Things like suspension components, control arms, rods ties ect, all to give more steering angle, quicker steering with more feel, front end stability, you know, proper car control stuff

>drifters actively seek cars that should be readily available for cheap to destroy?
Cheap cars are better because less money is required, it's pretty simple idea. But I will concede the drifting community has dricen prices of these cars back up, but seriously, shut the fuck up, at least you aren't paying MSRP still. Plus, 240's and AE86's like you exampled, are literally the two best chassis for drifting.

I hope I have been able to clear things up for you, but im sure I messed up a thing or two because it's 3am and I'm stoned.

>>14196098
Some men enjoy raping little boys...so should we allow that to happen? Yes that's a ridiculous comparison but logically the argument is valid. You have to realize that these people don't necessarily own the cars they're destroying. Sadly those cars aren't dime a dozen mustangs or camaros. They're generally cars that are a bit harder to come by and what's worse, came over in limited numbers. So while it may seem like "hey it's his car" and while that's a totally acceptable argument, what about the process of giving that car to someone else to enjoy once you're done with it? These generally aren't civics and corollas these guys love to destroy. They're usually rare birds that will meet the crusher as soon as they go to a junkyard.

>Firstly I think drifting is stupid. I think it's slow, pointless, and if I'm honest I think anyone can not only learn to drift but learn to drift quickly and accurately. Actual talent seems to be lacking here.

Have you tried it? To me it's like doing tricks on a skateboard: something to do for fun and to challenge yourself. I hate the competitive nature of the professional side of drifting. It should be about going to the back roads with your buddies and ripping hektic skids.

>Secondly I feel that most people in the drift scene, admiring it, or desire to become part of it are all ignorant, dumbasses who have no appreciation for engineering and how hard it is to produce a car that properly goes round a corner! Watching these people actually spend money to undo this really gets under my skin for a multitude of reasons.

Again, this is mostly in the professional side of drifting. They resort to big power to hold slides forever and get big smoke. Grassroots drifters who have to make do with only 200 hp or less know what little thing is needed to go sideways. One of the reasons I also dislike LS swaps into everything.

>>14196259
2/2

>Finally is it just me or do drifters actively seek cars that should be readily available for cheap to destroy? Datsun 510's used to be cheap buys, the 240sx and AE86 were all cheap until Fast and Furious TD came out. Now a 200SX is a hard car to find because hipsters are looking for glory on their local tracks. As we all know as soon as drifting is no longer a "thing" these drifters will move onto something that's more popular and easy to deify themselves by participating in. Basically I feel like the entire drift scene is comprised of posers with no real passion, intellect, or authenticity. I feel that they're all just idiots who like loud noises and explosions.

If you were into the car scene before Tokyo Drift you would know 86s had drift tax (for a legit GT-S) and 240s were already quickly rising in popularity due to Sport Compact Car's SR20DET swap article. With the increasing drift tax and less cars to buy, drifters had to move to lesser popular platforms like the S12 and Starion but not for some hipster reasons, IMO.

A large portion of those posers though are now in the stance scene and drifting is past its peak. But the damage is done and the next cars on the bandwagon limelight will be the 25 year old imports like the R32. Expect to see Craigslist filled with GTs-Ts selling for $15000 for "legit RHD JDM GTR".

Bottom line, drive for yourself and choose your own car with your own style.

>>14196063
You are not an asshole, it is your own opinion and you are allowed to think what you want. This topic is very subjective, some like grip while some like drift. Another tip, they will always be posers and ignorant shits in every scene, not just drifting.

They show nothing but disrespect to cars, they don't give a shit about anything bit "HURR SIDEWAYS" drifting is just as bad as drag racing, modifying cars beyond repair to do something stupid in a way that if the engineers saw the car they'd beat the shit out of you and kill themselves in unison

>Datsun 510's used to be cheap buys, the 240sx and AE86 were all cheap until Fast and Furious TD came out.
Fucking this. Right here.

Not only do they jack up the prices, they end up trashing most examples of them you can find. And for what? To fuck up the suspension, tear out the interior and burn out a stack of bald tires.

The professional stuff I don't mind, guys who know what they're doing. It's the assholes who go to a track and spend all day going around in a circle with the handbrake on - fuck em.

They don't do that though, they take decent cars and beat them to near death, then sell their burnt out shitboxes as "drift projects." Meanwhile prices for clean examples of these same cars shoot through the roof.

Yeah no. They buy the ones full of rust with a torn up interior and a drivetrain ready to be replaced.

Those "drift projects" you see are hardly in any worse condition than how they got it.

I like drifting itself, but I hate the culture that surrounds it.

This

Cars aren't meant to be modified or driven hard. If you want to do those things, get a purpose built race car or build your own damn car. Street cars are meant to be cared for, fawned over, observed and enjoyed. Nothing wrong with driving five over the speed limit here and there or leaving it out in the driveway on particularly nice days now and then, but you shouldn't be tearing them up and abusing them. They are a finite resource and you are robbing others of their enjoyment when you butcher them with 'track days' or 'hella sik mawdz'.

Quit thinking everyone has to modify their car to do something.

Sure it's sad s13's are getting butchered but isn't a known car to be shitty that you modify making it into something glorified fun?

>>14198395

>>14197909
>Literally spending pennies on shit cars

you meant that figuratively, not literally. it's obvious why you like faggard garage.

From a physics standpoint, drifting is always slower except under extremely low traction conditions, like driving on snow and dirt. Theoretically, pushing the car just barely beyond the grip limits of the tires allows you to go through a corner faster, but with very high speed and/or high grip conditions, even the best drivers would likely fuck themselves pretty quickly if attempting to drift.

>>14198416
>would anyone want an s-chassis or ae86 for anything other than drifting?

>Clutch kick
This is what niggers do

>>14201162
What does that even mean? Does he quickly depress and then drop the clutch as he's going into the corner to break traction?

I agree with this logic. Anything RWD and light has become gold. The 240sx grew in price to a ridiculous level. But now 510's and the like have followed suit. The Trueno has always been a known car so I won't toss in the that car in particular but now all AE86's are overpriced SOLELY for drifting.

Not only that no one talks about the fact that half these guys realize how much it costs to go fast to drift and try to sell off completely stripped interior cars as "I did the work for you" instead of "I ruined the car and don't wanna be bothered with it anymore". Pretty damn annoying.

What's worse is that they don't learn anything from it. All can be forgiven in my eyes if it's meant to educate yourself but then there are junkyards that are willing to do that for the low price of 2 bucks a day.

Cars are meant to be modified. There's a balance that every person who does so should shoot for when modifying their cars. Driving a car hard doesn't destroy it and leaving a car stock doesn't mean you don't understand what it means to enjoy your car.

You grow with your car! Basically until you reach a point where you can handle the car past it's own limits is the point in which you should begin modifying it. Anything else that's beyond aesthetics and tastes is a waste of money.

In my own opinion 90% of BMW owners are wasting their money because almost NONE of them use their cars in the atmospheres they were meant to be used. 50/50 weight distribution has become a selling point for people who never go over the speed limit and THAT...my friends...IS A TRAVESTY!

M8 a cheap, rwd, light, car exists in the form of a FB RX7.

If you don't like the rotary, slap a inline 4 turbo in there. and stop crying m8s.

>i don't like it therefore it's stupid

American drifting and most professional drifting is literally sideways drag racing. It's all about power and how fast you can go sideways around the corner.

Where it's really 'good' is basically rally style on mountains and curvy roads

>The 240sx grew in price to a ridiculous level
S13s are still cheap as fuck.

>510s
classic car, i rarely ever see these used for drifting. they a bought by kids who want "muh fully sick granny spec car bro so clean"

>AE86's are overpriced SOLELY for drifting
again, not so much drifting but more muh "fully sick clean initial d car bro"

>Anything RWD and light has become gold
Nope. Light RWD cars for under 3k all day long. But keep blaming the rising prices of cars that have always been in high demand on one tiny little niche. People like you I have no idea how you manage to function in the real world

You guys would fit in well with /v/

>>14196063
I find getting a rwd car sideways, that is all.

Drifting is fun, but it kills your car. Anyone who drifts with new cars is a complete retard.

to build a car right takes skill and know how. i have seen very few done right but im not into drifting. most i see just slam the car and say its a drift missile. if done right it is impressive.
but drifting is like drag racing some people love it others think its dumb. and i appreciate the well built examples.
