Is 4WD drifting or power sliding?

[Limborghini]

So this guy was arguing with an upload I did on YouTube. Saying that I shouldn't be drifting/powersliding a Lamborghini. I drifted it for fun, to see what would happen. Yet there's lots of controversy about it.

Also I have a tune if you would like the tune for the car :/

Umm... You can drift a 4wd car - as evidenced by Ken Block... Drifting/ Powersliding is arguing about semantics, but it is what it is.

Of course you can drift a lamborghini. With enough effort you can drift just about anything... A could of tea trays and you can drift a FWD car FFS...

Powersliding is creating oversteer by spinning the drivewheels with the throttle. Drifting is controlled oversteer by any means, distinct from powersliding when you initiate oversteer by some other method, such as weight transfer or lifting the throttle. The drivetrain is irrelevant except for the different techniques each layout requires. You can drift a FWD car, though it's challenging to maintain a drift and you obviously can't powerslide with one.

Just tell that dude to watch this...

I don't really follow the drifting scene but from what I've gathered, They seem to frown upon anything that isn't FR, As evidenced by drifters taking your perfectly good 4WD cars and converting them for RWD only.

Example

Call it what you prefer, I always go with powersliding, Why? because

Yeah I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed 4wd in drift competitions, but 4wd cars are very driftable, they've been doing it in WRC for decades

Even in GT you've always had to tweak the differential to get a 4WD to behave like a FR car.

You can't drift on computer games any way because it's the map that moves not the car

I'm getting Drift Forum flashbacks.




Oh my god, help me.
