I just drifted/slid around in a '05 Mazda Tribute in some rocks. Got going, grabbed the hand brake, turned, pulled the brake harder, and hung the rear end out. That was fun! The '04 3rd row seat Envoy, was a little harder, but I got that big girl around to, just took a little more speed!

Get yourself a 3rd or 4th gen., gutt it, drop in a fully built lq4 6.0, beefed up tranny and diff., and drift it like you stole it. My .02.

See what I mean.you don't like drifting but you enjoyed it as well.i don't know why people keep saying drifting and power sliding are silly things to do.yes everyone has an inner child.and about that E brake I don't think there will be a problem losing traction with those things I've seen a lot of bimmers do it very nice and clean.

If a V8 performance car can't drift then it doesn't satisfy me or anyone who want to use all the power in it to enjoy.if I wanted to drive it from college to home or from home to work only,I would get a toyota corolla and do just fine

Mountains of out of mole hills. They sold a shit ton of 5th gens and it happened one time.

Also, as said, there are no shared parts between the 5th gen and 6th. Except a few emblems.

I think you're getting the reactions you are because most people seem to think you want to do hardcore drifting competitions with a stock 6th gen vs just sliding around and having some fun. You should have no problem getting the rear end loose for drifting / power sliding. It's not like if you go a little sideways in a corner or while making a turn the airbags will blow or the car won't be able to do it.

I wouldn't worry about it, nor would I call it a problem. Plenty (I would guess most) of 5th gen owners got it sideways at least once. Even if the airbags blew in 500 different cars (which definitely isn't the case), that's 500/500000, or 0.1%.

The Scandinavians don't need no stinkin' e-brake

Credit where credit is due, it's popularly known as the Scandinavian flick.

What he said in the vid at ~1 minute mark is very important.... do it on the street and you may get lucky, or you may bust a wheel/tire on a curb, but more likely you'll end up in a ditch hopefully upright, probably upside-down, wondering how much your insurance rates are about to go up.

There's also the chance the cops will see the skid marks and give you a citation for their version of street racing, which will get you a big fine and non-payment by insurance.

TL;DR
Keep it on the track

If there was such problem with the Camaro, I am 99.9% sure GM has fixed it a long time ago...

That was fun to watch. Good thing he had the e-brake to get it sliding.

never had a problem with the airbags deploying on me when the tires are spinning, sideways or not
