The second one is very nearly a tank slapper. He's not hanging around in neither of the video's though.

Yeh....The V6 isn't great for drifting...If you drift it generally won't end well for you!

 

[Brett]

Yeah, by no means easy in the dry as you need to carry aloy of speed into the corner to do it, which the the v6 doesn't like! Not too bad in the wet when the rear can spin up easier though.

I disagree ...

I took my Vee to an oulton park drift day a few years back and whilst I couldn't drift it without spinning, the instructor who's name I forget, had a blast in it ... He said it was a great car to drift and he was literally drifting it all way round the drift circuit (the left one). In summary, the reasons he gave was for the Vee being great is because it was so engaging in that he had to put steering corrections in all the time to hold the drift whereas he said that with cars like BM's you just put it into a drift and make small corrections now and again as the drift is easier to hold in that car. His arms were literally moving all the time, it felt great and looked so mad!, I totally trusted him in it after a few seconds, and my eyes were well and truly opened to what was possible ... but I never did anymore drifting in it after that day - cause yes the risk of a major 'fail' is high but Oulton drift days are great to experiment at 'low risk' ...

I think Blakey had a good go at drifting on another occassion and got pretty good :approve:

My point stands! lol The V6 is not an idea car for drifting. A front engined, RWD car is what you need. i.e the Z4M...

Sure it's possible, but it's neither easy or fun! - Just my perception.

 

[Brett]

Certainly not easy but 100% fun. Would rather have a challenge on my hands to be honest.

 

[blakey]

Thanks James, that clip is not one of the better attempts :rofl:

On a dry surface I belive the Vee is almost imposible to Drift. The 2 video's are power oversteer but not drifting. But cracking fun trying though :race:

 

[k1ano]

exactly drifting a rwd car with your finger is not my idea of fun ... still great to watch though ...
