that looks more cool then some of the stuff I have ever seen... more open track bigger turns.. it it just me or it this a new kind of drifting?

it almost seems cool

[MikkoV]

Thats the way we have always driven in here, parking area races etc. have starting to show in picture here just last couple years. It´s ot hat important to me what it looks or what peoples think at drifting at motorport. It´s f**king blast to drive, 100mph at sideways and following someone at few feets distance is best rush i´ve ever get.

Great video :-)

Doesn't take many mods to do that to an American car. Unlike a Tuner rear drive car. Takes some serious engine mods. Japanese started it, Americans dominate it!

Awesome video of an amazing car.
Two thumbs up.
Do you have a build thread for the car?

[Bryce]

Cool, thanks for sharing.

[Bjkadron]

Awesome!!! That looked like a lot of steering angle for a camaro.. did you modify anything to get that much?

[montessaj]

I've always loved drifting. I'd like some more info on that hand brake though, if you don't mind.

There is short version of build thread

Steering mods:
81 Z28 steering box and steering arms (spindle) are about 1.5" shorter and turned towards wheel to gain more steerin lock and eliminate ackerman, steering stops cutted away.

Handbrake, hydraulic of course, with tilton 3/4" master cylinder.

Thats great, just left you a post over @ LS1tech.
Nice work man.

[Steelrat]

So cool to see some American Muscle drifting

Briefly looked through your build thread. Nice looking ride.

However, when I saw your dyno graph...I thought it was odd. I thought that the HP and torque curves HAD to cross at 5757 rpm or something like that? Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Remember that in my graph torque is shown by Newtonmetres and in US you use Lbft (?)

But when you compare graphs above, torque curve is good, doesnt start losing torq that early, but power doesn´t rise much after 5000rpm, there is some power missing, but hadn´t got time to think that last summer when car was "finished and running fine.
Cam timing? Too small exhaust? Mapping?

Wonder how many laps they get out of those tires?

It depends of the brand and thread wear..If you have sponsors,it doesnt matter..and if you dont have a sponsor,you take advantage of used tires.

At Las Vegas Speedway, we donated a few tires to the Drift guys after our weekend of Autocross, they appreciated it. Those guys show up with 8-12 wheels with used tires on them to get through the night, they run them until they delaminate or blow.
