lol! Epic Congrat's on making the AT go sideways... heck, even oldschool auto corolla's can do that, it's expected to happen. BTW, you know the rule in this forum, videos or it didn't happen, and then you get douchebags and other people call you out on this

If that's your definition of drifting, that's fine, but then the Family Truckster can drift, too.

Umm ill make a video of me drifting my ATX 8 soon. Duh you can do it..its really great on concrete like large upper parking lots. Nice and loud and smooth. Usually attracts attention (good or bad lol).

I believe you. I've been a passenger on an AT 8 drifting. It's not impossible nor difficult. Most people don't know how to drive an auto.

Thanks. That is exactly what I did. At least someone who actually owns one can verify this.

Yeah exactly. I just didn't get to get a video since we got caught and almost got in trouble. I will get a video soon in a better area. Just don't want to kill my tires by making many attempts. It will be done with a video, just need to find time and a good place.

Thank you. I was the passenger as well, and my friend who is more experienced did it. I haven't fully attempted one on my own, just a powerslide.

Sorry, I can't resist.

Doesn't have to even be old school. I got my '02 Corolla sideways plenty...without the e-brake

Regardless of what transmission you've got..."drifitng" happens on a race track and not on the streets. Kudos to the OP for a powerslide in a parking lot. Sign up for a local drift event and report back.

make sure there's an actual turn instead of a empty parking lot (cones or whatever)
