Got a bunch of bolt ons so its sounds good and has some ass under it. But i can tell you the car senses a corner coming in a hurry.
Without the whole chassis being stiffened, slightly lightened and the entire suspension being ripped out and re compiled, these cars were not exactly designed with diving into a corner at 60+ MPH and than holding a clean line going sideways.
Maybe a steady oval line for better entry and exit of the turn ok, but not sideways.
Now that being said, take the suspension out of any Mach 1 or Cobra with IRS and massage it a bit with some loving and the car would definitely be able to hold that sideways turn a little better.
Of course now your talking about having a driver accustomed to having the muscle car torque/hp response and learning the power curves and how to drift with it.
So i think its a combination of both cars and drivers that results in fewer American cars being drifted, which is steadily increasing by the way.
Growing up in a bo dunk hick town it was all about one thing ... going straight and as fast as you can! So the driver mod is completely out the window where i come from at least lol.
Just my 2 cents and opinion, good topic by the way!Statistics: Posted by RPGonzos_EJ — Fri Oct 08, 2010 3:47 pm
