Let's say I want to see what drifting feels like, or I just want to burn some rubber. So I drive across an empty parking lot, yank the e-brake, and go sideways. Is there any risk of flipping? Or will it always slide before it flips?



This is assuming I don't hit any curbs or anything, and I have street tires.

 

Extremly low I belive. think of it this way in NASCAR (I hate NASCAR BTW) the start going sideways in an accident at 200 mph with super sticky tires and light cars and the dont just start rolling around.

 

ah, good point. time to find some pavement!

 

Watch out for people and large unmovable objects. Telephone poles hurt...

 

R1/R2 lips aren't harmed by curbs .....

 

yeah it won't flip unless you slam into a curb sideways

 

or lose trastion and hit a massive dip in the road, causeing the suspension to bottom out, then you go right over a crest. then you'll flip

 

odds of that are very low. i'm talking about drifting on a course not on the street

 

i just had to throw it in

 

Baldy, how'd it go?
