I don't drift, I powerslide to make sweet turns.

Haha, yeah, I get a lot of heads turning when I do it in a 5 series bmw around street corners. Wouldn't call it true drifting, but the back slides out like no ones business and the 3.0L I6 engine makes a nice vroom-vroom-vrooom-vroooooooooooooom and theres the slide. hmm i need to catch up on my underground lingo.. (anyone any links?)

WELL, to be completely honest... most of what people classify "drifting" is really just powersliding. Drifting involves much more, specifically transitioning between corners and keeping the drift going. Hell, I'm guilt of it too.

So technically, Sar drifts too!

All that drifting is, is oversteer.
Going into a turn, your rear slip angle being greater than the front.

but it's fun, and here's how you measure fun. If you do it when nobody is around. Then it's purely for fun.
