it's easier to practice drifting in the snow or maybe even sand at the beach but you gotta be careful not to bury yourself. if you do bury yourself, a rug or towel might be a good idea to get out of it. anyway the idea is to practice slipping on purpose.

Sasha buddy.. Can you slow down the spinning of your car.. Its giving me VERTIGO..
Very cool signature none-the-less.. Let me know when you want to do the skid pad test and we'll set it up..
Camren,
Just have to shake my head buddy.. What the hell were you thinking.. Oh well I won't make you feel worse but I think you need to go back and read Superjoe's messages of what happened to his car for some perspective on what not to do with your GS..
Hope you get it all fixed up soon and back to its Big Pimpin Style!

Why would you want to drift in your GS3 with 20's and not the right suspension...
If you wanted to try drifting, you should have gotten a rent-a-car to practice on...

Controlled oversteer is fun and hard to get it just right. I guess thats what the new age definition of the term "Drift" is.
Oversteering is oversteering, and in the "old" : ) days, had nothing to do with the term drift. Still looks kinda fun though.

Oversteer is what I sometimes think of as "turning too much"... and although that isnt exactly what it is, that is the basic idea. The rear end loses traction while the front tires maintain contact. In a rear drive car, oversteer can be controlled with the throttle or simply steering in the direction you want to go. Mild oversteer tends to be viewed as a positive handling trait (ex. porsche) although too much oversteer can be bad and cause the car to spin out.
Understeer is the opposite of oversteer. It occurs when the front tires lose contact thus causing the car to continue in a straight path. It is difficult to recover from and significantly more dangerous than oversteer. It is very difficult to simply steer out of and usually means that one must slow down until traction is regained. Understeer is BAD. I remember my first experience with understeer when I took a higway offramp a little too fast and hit a patch of oil just as I exited onto the ramp. Luckily I was able to slow down, regain control of the car and turn quickly before smashing into the guard rail. Nevertheless you can see how understeer can be very dangerous. A car that understeers often is not a good car to take corners in. Although my car (sc300) is generally known for its oversteer I have understeered it in a few corners so be careful out there.
True drifing, however, is neither oversteer nor understeer but a pint at which all the tires are at equilibrium in a four wheel drift. Ideally this allows the driver to exit a corner more efficiently. If you watch the WRC you will see them drifing around high speed corners. Often times people consider oversteer to be drifting and although it can sometimes be benificial in low speed cornering, it does not achieve the same effect as a true drift. More than anything oversteer simply looks cool.
