majik16106 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 So today was the formula D competition at road atlanta, i was there for the scca races, but i decided to check out the drift competition, its finally starting to come around in america, the japanese drivers are always sick, but today some guys were busting it out in full on GTS class vipers. it was insane. So anyway, i thnk i wanna enter some of these competitions with the Z... they go crazy for the old school stuff, the 86's and what not. And Dave sholz or whatever drives one. Dunno, why i felt a need to post this, who knows, maybe I can be competitive, dont see why not? got the power, got rwd, plus z's are pretty ass happy anyway. thoughts?

datsunlover Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hehe.. I remember when I discovered that part of driving a Z.. Came into a 90 degree turn on a back road in 3rd, about 80Kph. (I had down shifted from 4th way back there, but then started playin with the radio, not realising how fast I was still going) Wasnt paying attention enough, and all of a sudden , here's this hard right corner. "Oh CRAP!" so I rip it into 2nd, crank the wheel, pop the clutch and "scrreeeeeeee.." my car wips the tail around! I turn the wheel back to the left, stay in the throttle, and drift around the turn. WOW! I get to my buddys place, and tell him about it.. he's says "Cool man... lets go do it again!" So I do.. heh heh.. scared the bejesus out of him! But uh.. yah, that was a 280zx and it was all stock... so I think a Z would make quite the drift car, even if it was only SLIGHTY moded. Do it man!
