  • haha, i love the morons who say, thats not a drift, thats a powerslide...all while watching a fwd car.

  • ahhah that was sick!

  • Wow, that actually really cool.

  • powersliding is just a type of drift, it's still drifting. i.e. controlled slide

  • THIS IS THE BEST PROOF THAT FWD DRIVE CAN DRIFT!

  • power slide = drift.

  • Why is there so much hate towards FWD?

    My 3kgt vr4 does just fine :)

  • cause all the rwd guys thought they were the ones who could only race and do crazy shit. Now that fwd is getting more popular they don't like it :P

  • @CamaroHappy vr4s are AWD

  • seriously, why is there so much argument about terminology? Call it what you want. whatever it is, it's bad ass. I

  • @liquidr0x0r exactly

  • @superbad1982 A powerslide is a technique that uses power to oversteer a car, which makes it slide while maintaining control. Pushing the accelerator on a FWD at a turn will cause it to UNDERSTEER not oversteer unlike a RWD. So, technically, you can't powerslide a FWD.

  • wasnt a drift....but wasnt t=half bad for a fwd

  • i wonder if my stock eclipse will do this, its stock other than the cold air intake i installed in it

  • You can't drift with a FWD you dumb mother fucker!

  • @sktm06 yes u can u dip shit u just cant drift for a rele long time

  • @glichkingv2000 That's called powersliding you dumb mother fucker! RWD gives force to keep the car sliding. stupid fuck...

  • @sktm06 check out drift vids dumbshit every 1 uses awd not rwd u fucking retard

  • @glichkingv2000 lmfao u fucking tool the vid says FWD I said FWD I never said a AWD vehicle couldnt drift. ur a fucking idiot.

  • @glichkingv2000 then explain the people that drift 240sx's, skylines, miata's, and heck, even camaros and mustangs. those are all RWD. what about Keiichi Tsuchiya, the DRIFT KING. his car is RWD, and not AWD. looks like you're the dumbshit.

  • @cote006 its not awd its fwd sooooo

    ya

  • @genocide200869 i know? haha. i wasn't talking about the video. i was replying to glichkingv2000 and his comment saying everyone used AWD cars to drift and not RWD. i know that the car in the video is FWD. i didn't even say anything was AWD. i listed cars that were RWD...

  • @cote006 o well still

    HA LOL

  • @sktm06 lol you call him a stupid fuck, but then you say a fwd car is powersliding. power doesnt make a fwd car slide dumbass

  • @PsuPepperoni Just quit fuckin' posting, you humiliate yourself.

  • @sktm06 cool story, but you're still wrong

  • @PsuPepperoni YOu don't know what a powerslide is do you? I will help you out.. It is when you xfer all straight line momentum (power) to a sideways motion(slide) so it is a powerslide. It is not just stuck to FWD there is a huge difference between a powerslide and a drift. But powerslides are a start. You can do it in a FWD but your back tires will turn to squares real quick.

  • @superbad1982 momentum is not power, horsepower is power

  • @PsuPepperoni you dont get it do you.. power is not meaning as in HP power as in amplified. it is a powered slide.(powerslide)

  • lmao, i thinks its funny to see all these people hating. idc what it is, that was a pretty badass drift, slide, whatever, for a STOCK FWD car on the street. major props :P , and i get nervous sliding my 98 gsx in the rain ahaha.

  • props my 4g64 turbo keeps up and out runs 4g63 all day >_< , its not what the engine is, its whats on it and in it.... rs and gs haters go to hell

  • @MasterAMD09 The rs and gs in the 2g's have 420a's in them, not 4g64s, good try though

  • @95TalonMan WOW, noob.... its called a engine swap but good try though

  • @MasterAMD09 Who the hell would swap a 420a for a 4g64? It would be an immense amount of completely useless work. You would have to make entirely new engine mounts for an engine that wouldn't give you any more noticeable power unless you built it. Which then brings up the question why wouldn't you just build the 420a?

  • people need to shut up. this was sick as hell. and i have a 98 GS and i can get it pretty sideways. yea its technically not a drift but you still get sideways in a drift or powerslide.

  • @tylo228 Technically this is a drift because he started before the apex of the turn  :)

  • If front wheel drive cars could drift they would run the in Formula D but they dont you cant drift a front wheel drive car. Sliding in a front wheel drive car is fun and all but its not drifting.

  • U guys that hate are stupid idiots pulling the e brake is one of the six forms of drifting it's called the e-brake or slide method. U know it all losers prob can't even do that!

  • Everyone please stop with the hating. It is a drift. Now here it comes, all the people are going to say "technically, a drift is the driver purposely putting more power to the wheels than it can handle then he oversteers in the direction he wants to drift, floors it, then counter steers so he does it correctly". People know! Okay?

    A drift is a drift! Got that? It's fun beating RWD drive cars when you're in a FWD grand prix gt kickin their ass in a drift contest! Really Fun

  • this is nasty. i dont care if its fwd.

  • It's FWD, you're not drifting, you're not powersliding, you're dragging ass.

  • Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn

    The maneuver in this video IS considered a "form" of drifting

  • powerslide ftw?

  • hes got skills...but all hes doing is riping his e-brake, over steer and then counter steer...not hard...but it looks like your drifting to idiots ^.^

  • Let the dude have his moment, damn. Well I'm a drifter and own an AE86 and that looked just fine to me, actually it was pretty clean and well initiated

  • also if u power slide around a corner ITS A DRIFT u dumbass learn your shit before posting stupid comments

  • For all the people that say this is not drifting please read and make some research; sliding with the handbrake is a type of drift. This is not Powersliding thats true, but this is drifting in a way.

  • cheap ass shit.. not even a drift

    hom boii thats sliding not drifting

  • This isnt drifting. Stop tagging it as being a drift

  • @Hooning4Life Thank you, finally someone who isn't a ricer. FWD = cannot drift. End of story.

  • @jerryatrix9 Lol dude ive taken my time for the past hour and gone to all the Eclipse drifting videos and trashed them, its a disgrace to actual drifting

  • @Hooning4Life Hahaha, well played good sir. Keep on fighting the good fight, the ricers must be stopped -_-

  • Yup, a power slide. But a pretty damn good one. Main difference is that a power slide isn't maintainable, while a drift is. PS and eventually your rear end is going to lose sideways momentum and regain traction, whereas with a RWD/AWD you can use the throttle to keep the rears from gripping, given enough power.

    Oh, and only GSXes are AWD. GS and GS-T are both FWD as well.

    Regardless, due to no rear wing and non-body color matching door handles, does look like a base, dog-slow RS.

  • that was a good drift

  • fwd rwd awd who cares there all good. awd and fwd is for agressive drivers the rwd is for relaxed drivers that wont slam the gas and spin out. what im sayin is if you have a lead foot drive a fwd or awd more traction and wont spin out on you

  • @3G4life1990 dude wtf are you talking about rwd gives you way more traction than fwd... awd is the best out of all three but anyone who knows anything about racing would take rwd before fwd.

  • @johnborgonovo thats your opinion. alot of people dont like the fact that rear wheel drive can cut loose when you floor it around a turn

  • @3G4life1990 thats true, but rwd gives you more traction since the weight is on the rear axle when accelarating

  • that was a power slide not a drift

  • of course anyone that is not a pro drifter that puts a video saying its a drift its not its a power slide right....STFU you stupid 13 year old kid you know nothing about cars your actually probably like 30 years old but o well let see you drift fucking idiot....

  • @TheRallycrossKing . lol that car dosnt have enough power to pull off an ebrake drift. i can tell just by the sound of it. You also dont have the right kind of tires and prob dont have a good suspension. Oh and i wok at texas customs we do a variety of work on cars from just paint jobs to complete rebuilds. look it up. we are pretty well known. I think i do know at least a little bit about cars. Was this video a drift? no! but hey good power slide anyways

  • win

  • @herantidrug1 wtf is the difference?? drifting is defined as the car going one way and pointing another. look at the fucking video and tell me it aint a drift

  • @herantidrug1 your right he had to slow down out of the drift just to recover a drift you don't slow down you have to speed up it's not hard to make any car power slide but still he has balls

  • dumbass power sliding and drifting is the same shit .

  • @missiledrift Drifting is when u start before apex, PS is after apex :) This was a drift.

  • Just look at da wheelz, but unless yur sayin dat a drift is sumwat of a powerslide, then datz sumthin else mii friend....

  • @herantidrug1 Nope u are wrong, he started BEFORE the apex of the turn so this is classified as a drift :)

  • @herantidrug1 whats teh difference? he still slid around a corner. you slid whenever you drift also.

  • @herantidrug1 it was more like a powerslide but going sideways, e braking and still spinning wheels is drifting as long as it's not awd, fwd is MUCH harder to drift with than rwd because of understeer it's very hard to keep drifting after u ebrake, but enough angle and speed u can drift and then floor it to use understeer to straighten out car and that's a drift, but yer this didn't have much angle and looked more like a powerslide.

  • @herantidrug1 Drifting is a controlled slide around a corner, learn your shit before you mouth off. 

  • its all wheel drive u blind fucking idiots

  • i want one of these so much, theres fuckn none in australia, everyone just says get an evo 6 instead -.-

  • evo 6 totally rocks

  • @kimokimo92 yeah dude go drift in an EVO.

  • that shit was sick

  • Did he use the handbrake?

    That slows the car in the end...

  • isnt the eclipse rwd and awd

  • The 98 is FWD

  • ha ha ha ha thats just a handbrake turn, drifts use power. it is impossible to induce oversteer using a front wheel drive set up.

  • @fastredtigger he just did that. its impossible to sustain oversteer using front wheel drive set up.

  • @fastredtigger - Then i suppose you don't know very much about cars, the motorsport drifting, or the drivingstyle/technique called drifting. Almost all FWD/FF cars can induce a drift, but as heterosapien69 here said, you cannot sustain them with most FF cars. If you have a very light car with a proper LSD, a good performing engine, and the perfect tires in combination with good suspension angles, then YES, you can sustain a drift with a FWD/FF car. Youtube it! ;)

  • nice powerslide...good sounding car...but you did not accelerate enough while coming out of the turn, therefor, not a drift...but very nice control!

  • need faster exiting speed!!!

  • i think he couldve taken that turn faster if.......he just turned, he didnt come out of that hard at all

  • that was the corect way to power slide a fwd

  • that was nice

  • slide? no drift

  • This doesnt look to be either powersliding or drifgting....just a rather controlled understeer. Nothing more.

  • That Is A Correctly Performed ((PowerSlide))... Not Drift... Still A Good Video, NoneTheLess...

  • true dat saw the smoke coming from teh front tires.

  • as long as you lose traction, while still maintaining control, it's a drift. Power sliding is drifting, but not all drifting is power sliding.

  • It's all about control. The normal boy racers in FWD cars fuck up at that point and just panic, understear and end up in the ditch. Or plowing into a kerb.

  • just like me lol i crashed a 2009 mazda 3 into a curb while drifting and had to pay 900 bucks outta my pocket

  • I put a ford fiesta into a kerb once, back right wheel caught the kerb at 70 - loads of damage to the rear subframe but wasnt too bad concidering, and thats the only accident i've ever had.

  • Quite Backwards My Dear Friend... In My Opinion, All Drifting Is A Maintained PowerSlide, But Not All Maintained PowerSlides Are A Drift... I.E. Not Gasing Through Or Sliding From High-Speeds... Eh, WhatEver... Just Saying DisAgree If You Wish...

  • Mine wasn't and opinion.

  • Never Said It Was...

  • You Dont Need To Put Every First Letter Of A Word In Capitals It's Very Annoying And Makes You Seem Black

  • ...((Laughs))... As Ignorant As That Stereo-Type Sounds, I Am Black. I've Been Typing Like This For Years And You Are The First Person To Piss Themselves Over It. Trust Me, I Would Dearly Appologize If I Cared.

  • @smayhan09 Shut Up Before I Lynch You

  • ...((Laughs))...

  • LMFAO!

  • well, at least you've got the right name.

  • thank you. I'm trying to explain this to so many ppl on youtube but i fear it is a waste of my employers time. LOL. back to work.

  • haha nice, but it sure doesnt sound stock.

  • hell of a nice drift, confident all the way threw

  • GSX is AWD.

    Prob a GS-T.

  • This Eclipse is GSX or GST ?

  • none probably an rs

  • It says FWD drifting man, not AWD drifting.

    Its a stock RS with an intake.

  • @mrgtr123 my GST is FWD...5 speed

  • ive drifted my 3rd gen 2 time once on a gravel road going 30mph, then on a 25 mph paved road going 60, i almost died it was nuts

  • Comment removed

  • i can drift my eclipse better than that!!! ima make a vid watch check my vids in like  2 weeks youll see a real drift then!!

  • so where's the vid? o crap i just fell for the trick where u just get free channel views....

  • noooo why would i what free channel views for????? my cam broke im saving up to buy a new one!! chek bak in a while

  • Lol, to everyone wondering, its all in the E-BRAKE and about going BALLS to the WALL with NO fear. To be honest, my buddy here would go in too hot sometimes and end up kissing the curb pretty hard or spinning out completely, but the point is that he was never afraid and didn't let that stop him from pushing the limits.

    You cant be afraid of messing up your car, plain and simple.

  • very true

  • @mrgtr123 that was a good drift a little earlier of a down shift would have put you out of the corner faster. fwd drifting is hard lol i know i have to replace an 18 and a tire on my 98 gs because i ended up deep out of a corner right into a pothole good times haha lol.

  • holy shet WANT MY DSM TO DO THAT

  • please everybody tell me how to do that FWD drift......because until now i cant. i can just a lil bit...

  • Are you retarded? How do you NOT know how to drift a FWD? Gas. Brake. Dip. Dip. wait... that's ghost riding the whip [[=

  • I wanna kno how to drift FWD cars, how cool would a big ass Pontiac Bonneville look doing that? lol

  • Front Wheel Drive is also known as... Wrong Wheel Drive

  • how fast was he going into that?

  • that was the best fwd drift ive ever seen. that was amazing 5/5!

  • drifting is based on inertia

  • I gotta say that was a friken nice drift for a FWD...

  • there is a forum dedicated to fwd drifting, its fwdrift. com

  • Comment removed

  • they can control but can they keep drifting? nope only for a small time

  • i can't explain how, but yeah, they can keep a drift going... may be not a stock one, but they can.

  • FUCK FUCK FUCK.......FWD CANT DRIFT, ITS CALLED SKIDDING. Drifting aka A RWD sport is when u control your angle / drift from the power of the rear wheels. more power = less traction = more angle....reason why FWD SKIDD is because they pull hand brake which causes them to lose traction and SKIDD with no power control. here is a little challenge forthe people who think they can drift a FWD, get in one and try drifting by kicking the clutch.

  • We get it. Your definition is off. Go look on Wikipedia for the drifting definition. READ IT.

    It doesn't matter if its FWD OR RWD as long as those requirements are met within the slide.

  • i dont need to look on wikipedia to know a definition, i know what drifting is and isnt, i live around the sport

  • can a FWD keep a drift running? no only when your on a curve hahaha thats what POWERSLIDE means... not "DRIFTING" a FWD cant even do donuts... they do reverse donuts LMAO

  • i bleieve they can, but it's difficult.... i've seen a couple of videos... but still, rwd's are the best at it.

  • its called SKEETING LoL

  • Comment removed

  • actually its called understeer but i get your point

  • Comment removed

  • What?!? are you retarded?

  • well tech it is drifting using the hand brake is a type of drift. yes RWD cars can hold a drift all the way around a curved course when FWD can only hold the drift for a short amount of time. and really as long as the back wheels are locking up and lose traction its a drift. same way for a RWd to lock up the wheels but you are able to give the car power to the back wheels allowing it to last longer

  • there's nuthin' wrong with it. The only problem is sum people forget that... as if all of us suddenly appeared on earth as dinking-aged-hairy-assed-peopl­e... hahahaha

  • whats wrong with being a kid? im 12

  • haha cool

  • Wanna know how I know raceguy514 is a kid? He puts, "Taken" on his youtube profile as status. Okay, Kid... Youtube is not for dating, and besides you don't even have a picture of your face on your profile. So no one is gonna hit on your ugly ass. And a Youtube Family? Are you that sad of a loner to make a youtube family? Lol, watch his girlfriend (implied from "Taken") is a youtube girlfriend. LOL Your pathetic. If you were old enough to drive, you wouldn't have a youtube family.

  • EDIT: If FWD can't drift, why was Honda....

    Go google. FWD drifting, there should tuts for it. Like RWD. Dumbshits. There's a drifter that quoted, "Any thing with four wheels can be drifted" Don't be one of those people that think FWD can't drift when they clearly can. This is by a drifter, aka a professional. Not some stupid kid online that talks shit about FWD and when he can't even drive himself yet.

  • @NigguhJason dont you just have to use the e break for FWD?

  • @lxlongxl its a bit harder than just pulling the ebreak. it take the same skill as the ebreak drift in a RWD car only real diff. is you cant power over with a FWD and you was a ton of tread on the rears.

  • Apparently, raceguy514 and bigbakaJ are the dumbasses here. Not us. That is drift, retard. There are different ways to drift with FWD, RWD, AWD. A RWD can use the E-Brake Technique if the driver wanted to. I'm sick of retards, saying FWD can't drift, FWD sucks. If FWD drift, why was Honda and other FWD at drift races. If FWD sucks, why did the Acura TSX take on the 2006-2007 Tournaments beat BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Nissan, and etc... Explain? You two are fucking Fail. FWD can't drift.

  • thats fuckn awesome

  • You can set up nearly every car, to oversteer. But the most stock fwd Cars are set up to understeer, because of the safety for the people.

    Goging Sideways = Drifting, Powersliding, Sliding... call it what you want

    You can control the drift better with rwd.

    But it also makes fun to go sideways with a fwd or awd car. That doesn´t really matter, if the car is rwd, fwd or awd - all can make fun.

  • The only people here with a brain is me and raceguy514. it's kinda drift but not really. power sliding is park braking while already in the turn. drifting would be to get sideways before the turn, thur the turn. well there's alot more to it than that but I'm not in the mood to explain Physics.

  • thats a powerslide. not a drift

  • there both the same thing you dumb fuck

  • actually no, fwd =/= drift. fwd = powerslide. a drift wud bring the back further out and have a heavy countersteer unlike this piece of shit

  • its the same thing retard.

  • uh no its not. the swing of the car in a DRIFT is dictated by the power at the rear wheels, and the higher the throttle the less traction they gain. with a fwd, u cant control the rear wheels with the throttle, which undermines the element of drifting.

    drifting = controlled by rear wheels

    powerslide =/= controlled by rear wheels.

    anyone can powerslide, it takes real skills to drift

  • i have a hard time saying front wheels can drift its kind of dumb but people who are realy FWD drifting dont hit the corner with there back tires locked they with use it to enter the drift but more with a faint drift with the e-brake transfer the weight on the car and having slick rear tires helps too but

    RWD all the way

  • very nice lil powerslide there, but Brick roads are the best =)

  • fwd =no drifting

  • actually go check out the japanes fwd drifters in the REX's those goes are impressive.

  • what do you have to do to make a FWD drift like that?

  • FWD drifting needs alot more knowledge about momentum and stuff like that, im still pretty shit at it but my car isnt set up for it, equal pressues and good tyres e.t.c.

    That siad when its raining i can drift pretty easily since not much is required to break traction lol

  • good drift man...DSM!!!

  • sweet slide man it dosent matter fwd rwd awd if your haveing fun thats all that matters

  • this is the number one fwd drift video in the existence of the world.

  • ay man i drifter and i drive a 330bhp supra. people say fwd cant drift and that is called power sliding or watever. Im not gona lie...that was a dang good drift man. love to see wat u can do in a rwd tho
