That is so sweet i really want to get my car to be able to drift... i dont mean like that but just better at drifting for a DD haha im about to redo my suspension... Got any tips for a newbie to the whole drift scene?

Also for tips for a newbie to the drift scene, you gotta make sure you get your practice in a safe manner, although it can be learned quick, practicing it can be real dangerous, sense more and more tracks are recognizing it we can go out and practice more while keeping the neighorhoods safe! Start out with whatever you have, thats what your used to, and let you be the judge of when its time to move on and what parts you need. but also be open to advice that people who drive a similar car suggest setup wise, they have probably learned some lessons and can give you some useful knowelge!

:edit i had this thread in the wrong forum area and need help moving it! thanks!

 

The videos were pretty cool and it was cool to see a thirdgen making passes..........but I don't get the whole drifting thing. What's cool about seeing who can smoke their tires the fastest around a track?

 

well, car control in any form is interesting to watch, we demonstrate it in all of our forms of racing, regarudless of the title, the fans tell us what they want to see and we go out there and do it the best we can! the goal is differnt for differnt drivers, some of us want to go fast, some of us just want to smoke, some want to go as sideways as posible, others all three, and some just want to see accidents. i dont really know what else to say other than if you enjoy watching it keep watchin and try and learn somethin, and if you dont enjoy watching it show us how its done!!!

 

I love.. you...

Lol jk

Dude where you from? I wanna see that in person.

 

from VA, we have drift events monthly at Summit Point WVA. go to www.driftnirvana.com for more details on events and times. im actaully gona be there this sunday for a drift practice and competition!

 

at summit point all the time! hopefully ill get up there on sunday :P

 

carousel for the win

That was great man, hyperfest looks like a lot of fun.

 

Zack, been watching you for a while now. Even know you from a few sites like D1U. Anyway just wanted to state your awesome, you got skills and hope you can bring what we are missing here at TGO to life. We have a few drifters like z28evans (Bubba Drift), soultron, crazyhawaiian etc. and they also has been getting deep into our 3rd gens. I to will be using my camaro to drift but will take me some time as I am a one man show with a one man paycheck (and it doesn't help wanting nothing but the best when buying parts for my car). Anyway just glad to hear our cars are getting out there and with great respect. I plan to bring a new style to drifting as I see you are as well (Your infamous mid drift 360's)

Take care Zack, lastly, talk with BMR about getting new 1" extended a-arms built for us? We talked about getting these done and you were brought up since you modded your a-arms from 2 for an extension that I'm sure aided in getting more angle. So yeah....

 

I'm happy to see that there are people out there still holding it down for Camaro drifting. I used to drift my camaro back when I had one. Got my car and face into a few import magazines (got a shot of my car in Car&Driver once too). It really seems like you got your suspension settings set up pretty good for drift. I ended up leaving the drift scene (well the whole car modding thing completely) before I ever had the chance to tune my car right. Thankfully though CrazyHawaiian owns the car now and he'll take the time to get it down.

 

...nissans, haha

 

hey man nice drifting! its really awesome to see a third gen camaro competing in drifting. ive been drifting mine for the past four years but its far from competition level. (blown shocks, auto, open diff....) now has blown motor.. im savin up a bunch of grands to do a bunch at once since i can never afford to buy stuff for it when its running since its always broken somehow n gas...... but anyway i recognized a few cars in the hyperfest vid like the rated d pink s13 n the blue kouki s14 with pink/white wheels that have been to the psu oval. so i was wondering if you heard of driftpa.com and the oval we drift at here in state college pa? itd be sweet if youd come drift up here sometime, its just a banked oval and def not as sweet as summit point but maybe if its on your way to some other track. i should have a new motor/tranny/rearend/suspension in mine by next summer

 

I give props when props are due and that sir deserves MAD PROPS!!! haha... You got some crazy skill bro, keep it up!!!

 

Cool, not my thing but i can appreciate the skill involved... looks fun!

 

Go fast...have fun...be safe...

 

another thirdgen drifting

 

bro.... that sh*t was CRAZY. i had no idea that people were drifting thrid gens!!! i mean stock they still have decent power. keep going siedways!!! really nice. maybe i need to get out there with my vert and do some drifting??

 

While I am not a fan of Drifting in general, it's good to see a 3rd gen out there tearin it up! I have to admit it looks like alot of fun!!!!! or should I say FUN! Definitely some skills involved there. Nice job !!!!

 

Drifting aint racing, it's figure skating with hot rods. But that has an appeal and coolness all on its own.

I love that Z28 though. Very cool looking car. Has a great stance and an interesting exhaust...

 

Pretty sure that's photoshopped. I can do that with any car.

 

 

Camaro, always a very capable car for drifts and it is no surprise to see Camaro making a big impact on the drift scene

Limo Hire

 

It's not photoshopped, the owner i believe is on this board as z28evans, he was also part of Bubba Drift few years ago

ok i do love ya. im in VA and i drift my camaro all the time. its funny bc every one is like you cant drift that.... and then i run cicrles round em. i love drift and now i now where a drift track is i should be out there sometime now

 

Good job with the camaro!! I'm not really into drifting but seeing it done on that road course is wayyyy more interesting than the circles and fiqure 8's they show on tv. Keep it up!
