Reason why evo and sti are boring cars.

As for the STi, the latest versions offer this torque controller wherein you can transfer up to 2/3 of grunt to the rear wheels. But turning it to a pure RWD is more possible, because the engine is mounted lengthwise.

but there is a RWD GD8 impreza competing da D1GP ah...the orange one, forgot the name.

japanese drivers are crazy.When they brought D1 in California everybody wants to drive sideways.NOw americans are trying to copy them but they're no match to jap drifters.

US vs Japan D1 drift battle:

As the 2005 season comes to a close, the D1 Grand Prix USA versus Japan All Star Exhibition at the world famous Irwindale House of Drift on Saturday proved to be one for the books. With the best American and Japanese drivers hitting the track at Irwindale, anyone and everyone in attendance was treated with performances they'd be sure to remember. This was the second running of the event. The first time it came to town, it was billed as the ultimate match up of USA vs. Japan. This time, that tag line was noticeably absent – except on the minds of all who were present...

At the end of the night, Falken Tire's own Vaughn Gittin Jr. behind the wheel of the Xtreme Mustang Performance/Falken Ford Mustang GT took home not only top honors but bragging rights being the first American driver and American car to not only see the podium at a D1 Grand Prix event but be the man at the top. With stellar driving throughout the day, JR. was able to out maneuver the Japanese competition and make his way in to the history books. Congratulations to Vaughn Gittin Jr., Xtreme Mustang Performance, and Team Falken for putting on one of the best performances we've ever seen.

i have a magazine of that event as well, it said Tsuchiya walked out kagad, mukhang napahiya since hindi Japanese ang nanalo.

kapatid, are you talking about the DCCD? If so, maximum torque to the rear wheels is only 59%, still not enough to be a so called RWD for drifting.

welding na lang yan

RE: US vs Japan D1 drift battle

amf mga "eme" na naka-mustang tuwang tuwa sila.

[nugundam93]

meron din ata aftermarket na DCCD controller...allows you to put 100% to the rear.

problema, you'll kill the rear axles kagad so you definitely need to upgrade them. :lol:

It depends on the axle. The Supra can take up to 1000 hp! Evos, IIRC, have 50/50 split torque between the front and rear wheels. Also, isn't it unstable to convert to RWD if the manufacturer didn't intend it to be that way?

Depends, I guess, on the car.

Since the Evo is built to be very snappy, and the AWD system is there to counter the oversteer, instability is a possibility in this case, if we're talking about power oversteer... but then, isn't that what drifting is all about? But it shouldn't be worse than in other front-engined rear-wheel drive cars, since even without the front splines, the EVO is still kind of front heavy, with a 60/40 stock weight distribution (possibly 58/42 with the removal of the front hardware). That's nowhere close to the 50/50 or even 45/55 that's preferred on drift cars.
