Thats incredible that they did it in unison with each other. One of the cars could have almost been the shadow to another.

Screaming bitch ruined it.

I could watch this all day, but that has to be the most annoying scream in the background.

-RIP Colin

Powersliding is a technique used to initiate a drift. Drifting is sliding the car in a controlled manner. The definition of a powerslide is using the POWER of the car to break the traction of the wheels, starting a SLIDE, hence powerslide

@xbENNNEHHhx dude, you use the accelerator hard when drifting. the difference is that a drift typically starts before entering a corner, ie by using e-brake or flicking the rear out in the opposite direction. powersliding is started once in the turn, usually by mashing the gas pedal coming off the apex of the turn

You drift in rear wheel drive cars, and you powerslide in all wheel drive cars. There is a difference.

[xbENNNEHHhx]

technically it isnt.. drifting is a controlled slide ( no accelretor ).. a powerslide is when you put the accelerator on while skidding.. only a little veriation but there different things... not to make an argument.. just thought you may want to know ^^

@Mattyp103 No. Powersliding is using the weight in the back of the car to induce a "Sliding" motion by doing a Hard Brake, while an actual drift is achieved by acceleration and tapping the brake and or hand brake, whichever you prefer. But in a sense, you are sort of correct in a way, a Powerslide is a "beginners" way to learn how a drift works. Reply back if you wish, though I really don't care to continue on about something I posted nearly a year ago. -_-

@Kazahashi wow.... a powerslide is a drift technically a powersilde is just a type of drift
