i drift my s15 spec r on high and low angles along with my ae86
its all bout angle speed and control

im an extremely high angle drifter with my 22B and legnum VR-4 Wagon using the drift to drop my speed as i slid into the turn i start the drift with inerta and then snap theE-brake for higher angle. while with my BTR im both high and low angle. high when i need to slow down low when i need to speed up.
as a show of how high angle i go with my 22B just look at this

FYI yes i made that drift without crashing

FWD can get the highest possible angles and still pull out of the drift. But the drifts are shorter
AWD can sustain high angle drifts longer then FR
FR/MR is actually at a small disadvantage when it comes to high angle drifting.
So, there it is. The funny part is that they all look just a little bit different while drifting. Since the physics are different, the cars general attitude is different. Meh, who cares!
Just have fun drifting mang! 👍

I think that most of it depends on your drifting style, way you drift, and car you use. Almost every car cn be drifted, so it can become easier if the car is back-heavy, like a RUF...

That picture doesn't really represent a drift. That would be more of a controlled slide.
It's impossible for AWD to go around a decent length turn sustaining such an angle (in GT4).
I was trying e-braking earlier today with a controller and found it to be quite funTevshaun
I might actualy start using it more often, it seems legitemate for the SS AE86.Does a car's power affect a car's ability to sustain high-angle drifts? I always thought it would be a factor with me, since my car is completely NA and sits at a nice 244 HP.

E-brake is one way to do it. Although with my corollas I really like to huck em them into a a turn. Power may help or hurt. I think the biggest thing with these cars is speed and momentum. I go in fast and feint hard so I can get the most angle and the furthest drift. 244 should be a comfortable power level. If anything, watch the FBI driving for pro vids and check out their technique.N35QU1KI was trying e-braking earlier today with a controller and found it to be quite fun

well it is kinda hard for me to initiate a long drift with the ss.....for long driftings i use my S2000..... but i have figured out how to do long drifts with the ss AE86... what i do is instead feathering the thorttle since the ss ae86 i push gas alittle longer then feathering....ok example.....N35QU1KI was trying e-braking earlier today with a controller and found it to be quite fun

*approaches corner, lets go of gas, presses hand brake and holds till car starts to turn sideways, pushes gas(2sec), eases of gas, lets car slide then regain grip...) kinda complicated but when u acutally do it its fun and easy....NOTE: this will work beautifully on trial mountain..
i want my GT4 *moans*nesquick: your car choice may prove problematic, the SSAE86 is lacking in torque at mid R.P.Ms and when revving high wil struggle to maintain punishment in wide angles, i find that car more in keeping with a race drift setup. Try using the AE86 not the SS it keeps torque at mid range and keep BHP good at higher R.P.M's.
that is all the advice i can give.

this whole battle can be summed up simply. i have seen d1gp drivers take a stock car and slam it into a drift with an incredible angle, smoke everywhere and just perform the most beautiful drift. that is the technique there; the drivers skill applied to teh car.
The settings changes are really to make a car that is tuned to sliding, to make longer, higher angle drifts easier. with enough skill, you could do it without special settings, but overall it's just up to the input the car recieves.
oh, and lines don't matter. good drifters can put their car wherever they want it to go. they can tighten their angle, loosen it, slow or speed up their drift etc. well, lines do matter, but like i said, it's all driver. if you wanna slide, commit to it.

Well anyone will correct a drift by instinct but its the timing is what counts.

how many times do i have to tell you to calm it down a little.
Anyways a drifter will instinctivly create and go on there own lines depending on there style. adaptation is a major factor but if there is no good line to work off your done for!

Well im not sure about the Longer and More angle but there is one thing with AWD that can only be done in GT4, and thats Countersteer Zero, Every AWD Real Life Drift ive seen all AWD are countersteering.
So seeing that, i would assume that AWD in GT4 and Real Life are a lot different, in terms of drifting.
Dont know if this is a worthy answer of that question.
but hey ill say it anyway.
i have recently seen a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Turbo (yes 1700Kg) pulling a 55 degree angle at a car show i went to a few weeks back. the driver wasnt c.s'ing that much, but throttle control was a major part of the control of the vehicle.
so if very little countersteer is applicable at 55 degree angle, surely it is possible to pull no c.s at 35 - 40 degrees?
i dont know, im just a n00b. thats returned.
