1LE Good Drift/Powerslide Car?

Briland_1LE · 08-03-2022, 04:01 PM

Anyone else think this car is great for powerslides? Its become a guilty pleasure of mine to put the car in competitive mode and head on down to Mexico late at night with the exhaust in stealth mode and rip it like like I'm in Gymkhana

U get it hot enough in silent mode and u run the risk of blowing the muffler apart. People have done it....

Is almost a 50/50 weight split so yeah. Also has plenty of power to break the rear lose. Only real issues I see is the fuel cut for a rev limiter and lack of steering angle.

I had no problem drifting the car in a drift event. It is loads of fun!

You can tune in a bouncy ls1 style limiter

You are absolutely right. I figured he was asking about 100% stock form. Buy it, and go.

Absolutely! I slide mine around road courses. Not the fastest way around the track, but sooo much FUUUUN!

Or melting your rear valance, it has happened! Don't run the car hard in Stealth, very bad idea.

otherwise, yes, it works well and could be tons of fun for sure!!!! Have fun! Just open those pipes!!!

Holy crap! I wonder if you can run an aftermarket Corsa or Borla NPP in stealth without this issue…

If you’re doing a drift event, chances are the db restrictions are non existent or very loose. In other words, I can’t see any reason why one would be in stealth mode and drifting.

And if you need noise reduction on a db limited track, you’re better off getting Laguna pipes or lifting off when passing the sound tower.

That was a tangent! Sorry! Yes, drift the camaro. It’s so fun and the chassis is brilliant and predictable

Is that the stock exhaust? Tips look different than stock to me.

Damn I didn’t know that. I mean I’m not doing an event in stealth mode but I do hit WOT pulls on the street here and there.
