Posted by: BlitzSupra Sep 22 2006, 10:54 PM
For me, I perfer 4WD and FWD because they don't have that much tendency to fishtail. I just let my car slide holding down the accelerator and using understeer to exit at the corners.

I prefer 4WD and RWD, $WD is very easy to hold longer drifts, RWD is more of a challenge.

Posted by: eighty_D Sep 22 2006, 11:45 PM
FR for me, although I have a couple MR's I like.

Posted by: Realmdrifter Sep 22 2006, 11:48 PM
I prefer 4wd and RWD... I don't much like Fwd - too much understeer...

I just like to slide - I beat a bud of mine, I was drifting and he was doing a grip run - in drifting u can take some corners faster than if u were doing a drift run...

i hate ff cars, i prefer FR and 4WDs, MR is ok as well

Posted by: outlaw-2 Sep 23 2006, 12:22 AM
FRs, MRs, RRs. 4WD is a bit of chore for me on asphalt. M4WD is even harder.

mr car collection = full of MR's biggrin.gif but thats GT2 but meh, list as follows
TUNED:
SC AW11
NA AW11
NA SW20 (G Limited)
Turbo SW20 9 (GT-S)
MR-S Concept
MR-S Turbo
Lotus Elise
TRD200GT
Toms T020
Honda NSX-R

These cars are all i use unless i need to do the "Special" car events.

Posted by: mark4000 Sep 23 2006, 01:21 AM
If you're only talking about GT4 then.......

a few imprezas

Miatas

NSXs

FDs

MR2 and MR-S

anything that slides easily when turning even at no gas, I love. happy.gif

and since the majority of slide happy cars are MR(please correct me if i'm wrong) then it's probably MR or *insert_correction_from_other_posters*

Posted by: FinToy-83 Sep 23 2006, 01:38 AM
MR, 4wd, FR, RR.. in this order. and FF's don't drift. they just wag that ass around rolleyes.gif though, Focus RS is an exception. ermm2.gif

Posted by: WRX Sep 23 2006, 03:30 AM
I drift with FR happy.gif and I can hold some drifts long like other 4WDs

Posted by: VTiRoj Sep 23 2006, 10:00 AM
FR: wub.gif Always prefered the classic FR layout for drifting, well balanced and doesnt require much to make it oversteer.

RR: Tried it, hated it. The rear is way to swingy for me, couldnt hold longer drifts.

MR: Better than RR, not as good as FR. Well balanced but its just too balanced.

4WD: I havent got the hang of 4WD drifting that good yet, its just smokey understeer when I try sad.gif rally is a different story, I think I kick more dust sideways than Nomura on the tarmac tongue.gif

FF: Actually fun to "drift" with, needs a stupid set up though, usually makes the car feel sloppy to drive.

Posted by: FinToy-83 Sep 23 2006, 01:39 PM
try my Stagea setup for any 4wd with similar power level, and try again. it works better with cars that have rear biased power distribution.

THEY are balanced to you? They're as swingy as an RR for me. >_>

the rear wheels tend to skid very easily.

but that's just probably because of GT4 itself.

AWD, 4WD, RWD and FWD for me.

EDIT: It really doesnt matter where the engine is placed.

Do you think they should be there , or is AWD enough? wink2.gif

Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Sep 23 2006, 05:15 PM
well, sure they should be there, since FR, MR and RR are there. and change AWD to FAWD.

There you go, but it looks a bit weird...

Posted by: FinToy-83 Sep 24 2006, 12:15 AM
what dose all these awd:s mean? are they like this?

FAWD: front-biased/front engined awd
RAWD: rear-biased/rear engined awd
MAWD: mid-engined awd

Lancia Delta S4 is the answer... Supercharged and Turbocharged engine as well in real life.

Posted by: mark4000 Sep 24 2006, 04:45 AM
great. thanks for the info. thumbsup.gif

Posted by: awdrifter Sep 24 2006, 11:10 AM
Is FAWD front engine AWD or front biased AWD (power bias to the front)?

Posted by: FinToy-83 Sep 24 2006, 11:12 AM
don't forget Peugeot 205 T16 and Tommykaira ZZ-II

Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Sep 24 2006, 02:35 PM
For clarification it is this:

F-AWD - Front engine AWD - e.g. Subaru Impreza.
M-AWD - Middle engine AWD - e.g. Tommykaira ZZ-II
R-AWD - Rear engine AWD - e.g. Ford RS200 (?)

The Ford is also MAWD, one car that comes to mind that is RAWD is the 959, but that's not in the game...

Posted by: eighty_D Sep 24 2006, 03:07 PM
Ruf CTR2 is R-AWD

Posted by: outlaw-2 Sep 25 2006, 07:03 AM
M-AWD cars..
-Ford RS200
-Peugeot 205

long time no see gold ultima lol

but some FF's can drift i think... cause i mean what exactly do you call a drift?

Posted by: Gold_Ultima Sep 26 2006, 10:48 PM
High angle throttle steer.

Posted by: Adriankat Sep 28 2006, 07:50 PM
FRs

Really easy to drift but its also really hard to control the drift. I also drift with AWDs, specifically WRXs.

Posted by: FinToy-83 Oct 2 2006, 06:51 AM
oh yeah? well, I drift Range Rover. shifty2.gif

Posted by: MidnightViper88 Oct 2 2006, 12:43 PM
Where the engine is placed at doesn't mean shit to me...

RWD only for me...

Drifting a FWD car is just retarded, and AWD cars have too much front-end powertrain influence to make things fun...

Want fun? Run a rally course in a hi-powered RWD car, like a fully-modded Hemi Cuda or Mustang GT; Fast-paced and frustrating fun... grin2.gif

^ you forgot to mention that it might leqad to demolition of few controllers.

Posted by: PeterTWJ Feb 16 2009, 05:02 AM
I prefer to drift with FR and FAWD. Favourite Drift Car: Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 with N3 Tires.
