I dunno, drifters to me have only seemed to master oversteer, and keeping their asses out. There's a lot more to racing than just that, and any respectable driver can keep the *** out as long as he needs to, or if he can't, ****** it right back as soon as it comes out.

IMO, the only thing drifters know how to do better is transition from drift to drift which is a drifting-specific skill, as well as initiate a slide from the entrance, which again is also a drifting-specific skill. There's not much that crosses over to other disciplines. That's why I think it's kind of limited, although it's still fun to do if you've got tires to burn.

Worst post ever.

Just spend some time at the track and add the parts you think will make the car work better for you. I went to the track with a bone stock car before deciding what needs changing.
