Hey Guys, have been reading a lot of stuff on this site about what you guys do when you build your rides, and it seems that the majority of you build with the aim of a fast quarter mile time, ie straight line speed. What I want to know is how many VL's have ever made it to a Drift circuit; do you know of any or have possibly built one with this in mind. The national drift comp is on in Perth this weekend and I had a brief opportunity to get behind the wheel of a purpose-built Silvia this week, but the feeling I got from the drivers seat was very similar to a nicely tuned VLT. So what do you think; will the VL's ever make an impact on Drifting???

vl drift car lol um....... no! lol

dead set lol whats next vn drift cars haha

stone havent you seen that grey VQ drifting, pretty sure it has tyre king or something plastered all over the side, was in the power cruise dvd's from eastern creek

man im not a real fan of drifting ey

what are u talking about we were drifting the other night in the bt1 willy

**waits for russ to ban gabby for being the driver **

What ever i dont even have a car on the road!! that wagon looks insane, i remember some guy coming to have a look at my bt1 with a vl fully equiped for drifting didnt pay much attention to it though and he was off these forums too

You can pretty well drift anything... Pretty well it all comes down to suspension, coil overs, sway bars etc. Stripping the whole car out to lose as much weight as possible, and finally to get it driving like the rest of the drift cars an powerful SR20 conversion would be perfect to sit back as far as possible in the bay to reduce weight and to improve the distribution... there is a vn that rips up in the QLD drift comps, and he is by far my favourite drifter going. And he does it so easy! This is a pic I took of him! So if you can get a VN boat to drive like that, anything is possible... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah thats Tony Harrison!! 50MAN is his plates...he is fully sponcered and is pro...the car is well setup so yeah i recon a vl could be done too!

Hasn't it got like 800HP? anything with that much and a little under body work will drift. 50MAN is very good at it! He can pull 160 4th gear fish tails down the main QLD straight, Then do a 360 and keep going.. All at 160.. Seen him pull 3 in a row at last, last years power cruise! it was insane, no jap boy come close to the crowd entertainment

Yeah, the V8's are starting to muscle in on the tuner cars, and really make a name for themselves, but I was just wondering why there aren't more VL's out there. Comparatively you can power them up, they're a similar size, and I find they handle relatively well. There are also lots of drifters out there with cars of a similar age.

how do you get camber with a live axle? leave drifting to the people who do it best i say, and thats the japs. getting smoke from the rear wheels with a powerslide is not drifting. i just don't see any entertainment is watching aussies try and drift.

why leave it to the jap cars when aussie muscle is just as good, if not better. this has got to be one of the best drifts i have ever seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP_cHHNXetE

have any of you's seen the streetcommodores dvd that has 'MILF' drifting. i rekon he goes alright. plus in the power cruise dvd's, 50MAN kiks everyones ass in the drifting. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

VL's are from factory magnetised to a special steel compound used in power poles and street lights.. once traction is lost, the cars like to gravitate towards these objects....

by the time you build your vl to drift specs the drift fad will be well and truely dead I hope! haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
