Its actually the pony car crowd that do this. Honda civics as a majority dont make that kind of power.

How does one Drift a "Front Wheel Drive" Vehicle ?

Easiest way to drift fwd cars is to take plastic meal trays from a mall, put them under the rear wheels, and apply the emergency brake.

Otherwise, just using the e-brake will get your tail end to slide out. In my old grand prix, winter time became all the more fun by using the foot activated parking brake.

jtz7: Sorry to ruin your party man BMW not is starting to follow MB: The new BMW now have less RPM and a lot of more torque , they know that is the only way to reach MB in the roads. M3 wont be able to do this. the engine is high reving but is a pussy whe we are talking about torque (which is need to do do things like this), M5 is good but I honestly think that due his weight you can't compare it with a C63 which have an engine bigger and lighter and also the overall weight of the car is less than the new M5. So if you are going to talk , be smart to compare the M3 with the C63, agin god for the tracks but still behind the C63 in the road and do not attempt to win a drifting fight against the C63 with your M3 or you will need a towing truck at the end of few laps.

You know Yonder7, I have a hard time comapring exc cars to each other. Hear me out. I can do A, B, C and D segmenct cars. But what is BMW, Acuras and Mercedes? Like is the BMW 7 SERIES a rival to the Lexus LS? Is the Lexus RX a rival to the MB M? How do you go by price, size or performance? That's difficult for me Yonder7. But thanks for the heads up...... unlike some people who just wanted me to look like a big fool. You know what? I'm figure this out. I can do. If I can get designs, I'm going get class. Because I'm jtz. I should be able to get cars from a to z don't mess with me. Thank yonder7. I gave you a positive vote. Now hurry up and give me my negative votes.

jtz7 : There is no negative votes. I love German cars and any Good car as I think LFA is. Regarding my english I still learning, but most of the people here barely speaks english, at least I know that they understood cause they were not giving any argument (this not a gramatic or orthography english site) and there is a lot of people that do several spelling or gramatic errors but I don't care cause this is about cars. I also think that every car have special strong points , everything is up to the priorities of the manufacturer. If I need to use a precise car for a winding road M3 is my choice. But for drifting or fun, C63. (C63 is a safe car but dangerous if you rive it to its limits is like a Pitbull, if you are not an experienced driver, it will bite you) M3 in the other hand is what it should be in the track, sadly some crazy people like me enjoy the adrenaline. A lot of people enjoy with sound of the C63, but for me, there is no music like the 4.0 of the M3, IMO, there is no other engine with a sound like this, it is the best (and if you prefer Ferrari sound is up to you but I sure the M3 will last twice than the Ferrari). New M5 also sounds great, when you hear the turbos, and I am sure is going to be a big challenge for MB. I love MBs but IF BMW or AUDI can do something better that will heat up the race to the perfect car, thats great. "si vis pacem para bellum"

Yonder you English isn't bad to me. Very few mistakes, and far less mistakes than many people here that were born and raised speaking English.

Yeah another BMW FAn (Yonder7). And your english is not bad at all it's good very good. BMW is up to something, something mean, something scary, something fast, something powerful, something grounbreaking something I don't even know what it is yet but I'm going to find out or my name aint' JTZ. I bet they have another BMW being tested. I bet it is in the wind tunnel or ice test right about now. Maybe it is next to a future hybrid or at a secret race track at a plant going around and around at 120mph. Well see more BMWs on spy shots and I can't wait. Who else things BMW is boring I'll bring out all the boring cars to the kitchen table.
