nsx a good drift car
- Thread starter K
- Start date
not a bad drift car, but also not for a beginner.
I had to disagree
even though Andrie is probably 100x better driver than me, for normal people the MR configuration car is not as easy for long sweeper drifting, and it's definately more than just dropping the hammer (throttle) or jerking the steering wheel would do...(as you can do such with a S13-15)... Snap oversteer would worry some drifters too...
Another aspect is that even though Drift King had showed off drifting the nsx before, you would not see them on any competition, the difficulties is one thing, if there's any accident happened to nsx, it's not as easy to fix., as even in D1, you constantly seeing someone smashing their cars into concrete walls... (The judge give more points of how close you drifting off the wall)
Most of the Drifting course is held at some small techical course, which generally they don't reach the speed to overcome to grip.. With a torquey engine, the drifters can do a lot more to upset the car's weight transfer... Given the long gearing and comparatively small engine torque, adding long wheel base and slow reacting steering wheels and it's MR... Good luck facing off other drifters..

Re: Re: nsx a good drift car
Fury, thanks for the pic, but this guy can drift anything with 4 wheels, (I watched him drifting a second gen CRX perfectly), so that pic is only a good indication of nsx being a good drift car
Tsuchiya is being name Drift King, and he's actually the guy behind the whole drifting craze thoughout the world...

On one of his DVD's, he says that the NSX is easy to drift comparing with other cars becuase of the engine configuration. After finishing with the video awhile ago, I went out to prove and it was true. Sure enough, yes................yes.....yes.
