Drifting
Drifting is forcing the car sideways -- via steering, throttle, clutching and braking -- in a controlled manner. The car will drift or slide sideways through the turns. An event that has become popular worldwide.

It really personal preference, but turbo cars that stand out / have a cult following:
porsche 911 turbo - cult following been produced since 1975
toyota supra turbo - cult following, been out of production for 11yrs and still asking big$$, modified make big HP 700+hp
buick grand national - cult following, was faster then the corvette
nissan skyline - japan's supercar
ferrari F40- held the top speed record, a 26yr old car with performance #s that are still hard to beat today
bugatti veyron - top speed record quad turbo W16
koenigsegg Agera - hold most speed/time records, 1140hp 5.0l v8 should go 273mph
What do you need in a car too drift?
a lsd, better if its rwd and it is nice to have a decently powerful engine. say 250 hp would be good for starters
No, it is not a ''drifting car'' most lamborghinis are 4-wheel drive, but you can drift a lamborghini.
Are Toyota Corolla good drift cars?
The best car that I've had the best experience made by Toyota would have to be the solaria I was a valet and drove many of the new models. But compared to the old models I don't know.
Is it possible to convert a drift car into a digital drift car for scalextric?
YES! Take the car and get lazers that show distance from one spot back to the car so i sugest you use a clean garage with flat walls, make sure they have blue tooth to connect to your PC/MAC and stick them to each of the corners on the car, top and bottom of the car, front and back of the car and each side of the car.
!!IT DOSE NOT WORK!!
Skidding will happen when the tires loose grip with the surface your driving on. It's a complicated equation involving mass (weight), angle of travel vs angle of the wheel, tire compound softness and many other factors.
SRT Drifting Has 2 Possible Meanings
The Most common: Dodges Professional Drift Team headlined by Sam Hubinette Which features a SRT8 Dodge Charger, he previously drove a SRT10 Dodge Viper and has won numerous Drifting Championships.

The Uncommon: SRT Motorsports has santioned Drift Events and Track Days in Southern California, thus being SRT Drifting as well Link: SRT Motorsports Track Days
What are the cheapest cars to build into drift cars?
Its a 1996 Toyota Supra, or you can use a Nissan Silvia S15.
How do the caledonian and Appalachian mountains support the continental drift hypothesis?
They are lined up if you put them together.
What would cause a car to lurch left or right?
Front end is out of alignment and critical parts such as tie rod ends or bushings may be loose or close to failure, also bad wheel bearings can cause it. Often that kind of problem is caused by loose ball joints or worn suspension component bushings.
It is the Continental Drift theory, whereby the landmasses of the world today were together and are slowly drifting apart The theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener.
The quick answer is low weight, powerful engine, and excellent cornering and braking ability. It's no use just being fast in a straight line, many of the fastest cars round a track are quick because of their ability to corner well. This can be achieved using aerodynamic aids to increase downforce (and thus grip), and sticky tyres. HAving good brakes also allows the driver to brake as late as possible into the bends, thus increasing the average speed around the track, and get good lap times.
The 3 pieces of evidence is:
1. fossils
2. climate
3. glaciers
Wegner found out that the same fossils were found on a different continent.
There was this tropical plant (i forgot whats it called) was found at a icy cold region so then the plant couldn't grow there only by continental drift. The glaciers have scratches on them which was one of the evidence.
I hope this really helped :D
When was car Drifting invented?
Modern drifting started out as a racing technique popular in the All Japan Touring Car Championship races over 30 years ago. Motorcycling legend turned driver, Kunimitsu Takahashi, was the foremost creator of drifting techniques in the 1970s. He was famous for hitting the apex (the point where the car is closest to the inside of a turn) at high speed and then drifting through the corner, preserving a high exit speed.
Keiichi Tsuchiya became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift techniques. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1977, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. The video, known as Pluspy, became a hit and inspired many of the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief editor Daijiro Inada, he would help to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting. He also drifted every turn in Tsukuba Circuit in Japan.

When was the idea of continental drift first proposed?
The German geologist Alfred Wegener first put forward the idea in 1912, but it did not become widely accepted until the 1950s.
Explain plate tectonics and the mechansim of continental drift?
Plate tectonics describes the motion of the Earth's lithosphere which brings about continental drift due to convection currents.
How did seafloor spreading help prove continental drift was true?
Evidence for continental drift is now extensive. Similar plant and animal fossils are found around different continent shores, suggesting that they were once joined. The fossils of the freshwater crocodile, found both in Brazil and South Africa, are one example; another is the discovery of fossils of the aquatic reptile Lystrosaurus from rocks of the same age from locations in South America, Africa, and Antarctica. There is also living evidence --- the same animals being found on two continents. An example of this is a particular earthworm found in South America and South Africa.
The complementary arrangement of the facing sides of South America and Africa is obvious, but is a temporary coincidence. In millions of years, seafloor spreading, continental drift, and other forces of tectonophysics will further separate and rotate those two continents. It was this temporary feature which inspired Wegener to study what he defined as continental drift, although he did not live to see his hypothesis become generally accepted.
It's generally saying that fossils have been found on landmasses far away from each other but because of seafloor spreading the continents could have once been connected.
