What would we need to set up our cars to be able to drift. I went to a drift off compition and they had some nice cars there. No grand prixs though, although I was on the hunt to find some out there on the local set. There was a COMPITION GTO AND MUSTANG there that gave the imports a run for there money.......I mean DDAAMMMNNNN!!!!!  The GTO was pushing 900hps. I wish I had my damn camera.......

I remember someone on here saying that our cars are NOT meant for drifting, but are designed to haul ass down a drag track. I'm definitely going to agree with that, since I've tested the limits of my GP before, and I don't think it would drift well at all. RWD cars with smaller bodies and less weight do way better. That's why a lot of imports are so good at it; they're small, light, and agile.

Get going real fast, cut the wheel, and slam the e-brake

do not do it with your GP. Picture a ballistic missile that is capable of going extremely fast and very far, that is a GP. The sidewinder missile (missiles ment for turning really fast and striking the target with percision) is light weight and quick, but dosen't really last long, that is a japanese import.
So unless you want to struggle with fwd drifting, replaceing tires every season, and ruin your GP... Don't do it.
