Heres the thing. US drivers are good at drifting with cars with tons of torque etc. Highly modified. So it's really easy just floor it and the rear end will come loose. Jap's started with underpowered cars. They learned with shit cars. Well not exactly shit but underpowed. The Drift King learned how to drift with a car with only 130hp xD. That takes skills, and if you can drift a 86, I'm pretty sure you can drift almost anything. All this girl prolly does is kick the CLUTCH and EBRAKE.

little known fact: she used to be a model, who was in fast and the furious3 (they taught all of them how to "drift") and that's when she started. all of the cars they use, however are 350hp+ cars, and its pure powersliding and clutch kicking.

She's gotten a lot better since then, but I'm pretty sure the only reason she's so famous now is that she had the money to start big. Being so pretty helps too, there's nothing a guy likes more than a pretty girl who likes the same stuff he does.

@c312eal I learned how to drift in a 240sx that was missing on one cylinder.

You're right though, Tanner Faust/Vaughan Gittin Jr. ruined drifting. They removed the driving skill required and replaced it with power.

I guess getting sideways these days is as easy as shoving your foot to the floor. There goes the visceral fun of drifting. :(

Verena is a cutie thats all.... ive seen better drifter chicks than her. - Iva Rusinova in my opinion is 1 of them

@losingyou109 yea I used to practice in my friends nb miata it was stock with an open diff not really all that easy to drift but when u get a nice 1 going or get a nice link u know u put your skills to the test I bet that supercharged 1 is a blast to drift with and I had a sohc 240 but the motor was blown and I was gonna swap in a dohc ka or ans sr but I got under it with a flash light and found some disappointing rot I am thinking of getting another to get more practice since my boys miata sold

@DcEvoIX I have three friends in 240's and another in a supercharged Miata making about 200 HP. One of those 240's is a sohc too. It's on D2 coilovers and has a welded diff.. He drifts it good as shit too.

@losingyou109 it's actually good u said that I'm not into american formula drift because they rely on power too much but that's probably how they learned I like the 2/10 of us that learn on ka 240's and miatas and such cuz then when we get say 300hp we can put the power to use easier cuz we know more techniques than the 1's who mostly learned off of power over and side techniques that to us are really just the basics

[losingyou109]

@c312eal The US drivers you're talking about are the professionals. That's not how most of us are learning. We're using stock KA 240's with slight suspension mods. Not all of us are running V8's.

shes like driving 30 mph

[ThatOneKidThatSkis]

haha, only 430 to the wheels, shits slow.

@Spectraeon fast and furious 3 would be Tokyo Drift, she was drifting way before that movie came out....just saying

@SmokeyCough no it's been proven, american's dont stand a chance in the japanese D1
