What is the difference between regular cars and drift cars?

Answer 1

Race cars have cool stripes on them

Race cars in like NASCAR are not not street legal for one.

They are really souped up with a lot of things that regular cars don't need/have and more. The only similarities between a race car and it equivalent street car are the outline shape and the badge on the front. Race cars have a different gearbox and diff for each terrain and different suspension, braking, tyres and fuel tank. The engines are tuned almost to destruction and are stripped and rebuilt after every race. The engines are not environmentally emissions regulated and use additives in the fuel. The engines are mapped purely for performance. The inside of the body shell is gutted out to make the car lighter, less flamable and to make room for ancillaries, the roll cage and fire supression equipment.

Answer 2

Every way except the name. The body panels are custom made to fit around the custom frame, the engine is much bigger and more powerful, a roll cage has been fitted, and the suspension, brakes, and wheels have been totally revised and the fuel tank has been swapped out for a fuel cell, so in a wreak the car won't leak gas.

Answer 3

When you design a normal car you take different considerations, for example, Rear Seats, you do not rear seats on a Race Car, you do not need a lighter neither, Air condition and so on....

On the other side when you design race cars, you do not care fuel economy, so you design an aggressive setup on your engine.

You can use a car performance simulator to virtually design cars and see how they would perform in real life, try at related links

Answer 4

A sports car is the sportier, flashier car of the two. Sports cars are usually designed to look "cool" and stand out. Normal cars are more practical for families and those who just want a car to get to places with.

Answer 5

Drift cars differ from ordinary cars in that they are generally modified for racing. They are rear wheel drive cars. They are called drift for the fondness of drivers of these cars for hanging the tail out and "drifting" while cornering.

Answer 6

Racing seats are more supportive than regular seats. They hold the driver in a more stable position protecting them from bad posture and keeps the driver in a fixed position.
