The Inertia drift and KITT

I have only seen some cars do this, mainly the Toyota Supera and a few other like cars. What I am curious to know if a larger sports car like a trans am or even a Camero is capable of such a move.

If not, what gives certain cars the ability to do this move called "drifting" ?

I'm no expert in stunt driving, but I think most cars can probably do that maneuvre, including Trans Ams and Camaros. It probably depends on how good the driver is and the type of tires (with adequate tire pressure) the car is equipped with. It also appears that it is performed on a downhill course.

lol it takes no skill to drift. just go into a corner with your foot on the gas and correct for the over steer, congrats you are drifting. now doing it in and out of barrles and people etc is a LOT more difficult.

Well that rally spec evo will handle like nothing else on the planet along with the other WRC cars, that drift is rather cool though. Might also help if the car your doing it with has got 4WD too, it maybe a little tricky to pull it off in a RWD car like a trans am, and american cars arent famous for having amazing handling. Might have to give it a try in my TA sometime, see what the outcome is :shock:
