because the majority of kids have FWD and think yanking the e-brake is the way to drift.

 

your e-brake shoes are not going to appreciate a bunch of brake handle pulling

 

The easiest way to drift is to yank that e-brake and then pow wova.....

hmmm
well i daily drive my evo and its never been on a track...
so im not sure what your talking about. i dont think my car is a race car, its just my daily driver. your a f*cking noob. get a life. all i know is im not the one making a thread about e-braking. learn something about cars you *******.... more importantly learn to drive your car.

oh sorry my power levels arent up to your par, you obviously know nothing about dynos and evo's if your gonna try to rag on me about 292whp on a mustang dyno with the very little mods i have.... your one cool guy. go take you and your 80 posts to another forum you f*cking waste of human life. dont crowd up this form asking a stupid question thats been answered a million times on here

 

^ wow, you completely misunderstood the power statement, and just because someone has more posts doesn't mean their posts contributed more to the public. It's the quality of the info not quantity. Wasn't it gallas who started the thread? Just pointing out the obvious. Back to studying =X

 

HAHAHA dumbass...I didn't start the thread. I know a lot...and I know that I still have SO MUCH more to learn. I don't claim to know everything like you seem to be doing. I know how to drive my car btw...I have more track days/autocrosses than you probably have brain cells. I'm just bored of what I've been doing so I was gonna give rally-x a shot and I had the question about using the e-brake for rallying. You seemed to have nothing to add about the question and proceeded to talk nonsense.

Good night.

 

So how the E-brake working for you on the autocross and track days?

 

Wouldn't know. Don't use it. If you people would pay attention...i'm not the OP and I only asked about using it for rally-x.

 

You have a Syclone in Framingham? Come out to our meets, man! I am a huge fan of the Typhoon/Syclone!

 

what happened to the OP?
here's a tip, if you don't know what you're doing, don't try it.
Go to a racing school, they're all over the place, they can help you figure out how to drive your car well. Or at least play GT5 instead of NFS, and watch F1 instead of F&F.

 

Seems like some of the worst advice ever. If you don't know what you're doing figure it out. All you suffer to lose is money, so as long as you're prepaired to pay for the repairs, go have fun! it's a car, it's not a shrine. I use my e-break to dime-stop/spin the car around all the time! Just this morning I was stuck in traffic and decided a side road a quarter mile back was a better choice. I gassed it, kicked the wheel, yanked the e-break and snap, facing the other direction. I wouldn't do that on dry roads, but on wet roads it slides around quite easily and controllably at very low speeds once the weight shifts.

I'm a huge proponent of experimenting with stuff like that. For one, it removes that "heart pounding excitement/adrenaline" factor, making surviving an emergency situation much more probable. As an example, years ago now, I was in a parking lot around christmas. Some lady came way to fast toward me and started sliding into the corner. My child was in the car and we were talking at the time, I e-breaked the car around and out of her way with inches to spare and never stopped the conversation. Meanwhile my kids are so used to me doing "stupid" things with them in the car that she didn't even stop talking. Years ago that would have left me studdering, heart racing, or worse, drivers door caved in.

It's through trial, acclimation, and aclimatization that we get better at absolutely everything.

So let the kids e-break drift and bust their rear ends. No one's telling you that you have to, and years from now when they grow up and have children they'll be way better drivers because of it, after they've outgrown it.
