no the ZO6 did the trick for me, better jumps off the line and quicker acceleration out of the corner

This is for those who need help with drifting:

Getting familiar with the drifting mechanism is the imperative thing. The mechanism pushes your car's sensitivity right out the window, and as a result the car is almost 200% more sensitive in drift modes than the regular street racing modes. So a little tap left or right with the analog stick could send you careering into a spin if it is not controlled. I wouldn't jump the gun and go straight for the canyon drifts firstly. Everyone needs to learn the basics first - on the drift TRACKS. Canyons are for the big boys only.

How do you get familiar? Well it isnt a cut-and-dry situation. There are many factors involved in getting
a good score on drifting. Tuning is one. Here is the recommended setup for drifting. When purchasing
performance mods, set the mods on these settings:

Engine - Set it on full torque
Transmission - full acceleration
Suspension - full oversteer
NOS - full velocity
Tires - Drift
Brakes - Evenly biased (middle)
Turbo - middle

Now, select a tier 2 tuner and set it up with these settings. In quick race mode, select Kimei Temple
drift track in the downtown section. Then choose your tier 2 tuner in car select.

Now, you need to get a feel of the car when all the physics are thrown out of whack. Start off, and use
NOS to propel yourself into the blue "speed bonus" zone. Aim for an overall score of 25,000. Then go for
50,000 , then 75,000 etc. Once you acheive 250,000 , you're all set for the canyon. the canyon works on
the same principles of the tracks, with the exceptions of no bonus zones, a narrower and more difficult
line to find and jutting rocks. These canyons are definitely no cake-walk, so its imperative that you
focus on the tracks first.

Hope this helped

And to all (again) - The gallardo will do pretty much anything. Beat Darius, post new drift records, defending your turf, ANYTHING. And yes, like i have said many times before, the Gallardo is the best car in the game. But this is not opinion - this is FACT.

should that also apply to drifting in a muscle car?

it applies to all car classes. The post above is for your convieniance and it tells you how to drift. I selected tuners cos theyre the easiest to drift in.

true true, but i'm trying out challenge series, and i'm tryin to drift in a corvette Z06

Hah, I did it straight away, the corvette is a demon in drifting! I'm not sure what my score was, but it was higher than the limit. Only a TRUE DK can handle that car perfectly in a drift, I'd say Chingy could

Fair enough, according to my opinion, the corvette is the best drifter out of the muscle car section, MHserious is ryt, cozz a TRU DK or a pro can finish the job without having any problems
