I would love to see what the new Camaro could do in drifting competitions. Yeah Vaugh Gitton is use to the Mustang so of course he makes it looks good. If the Camaro can drift as good as the old one that would be cool. The sound is amazing!

No, and I hope not.
Wheelspin has a place, and that place is not when you're cornering. |

Camaro isnt going to drift as well, weaker handling response and more curb weight.
No it isnt a GT500. And wheelspin around corners takes alot more driving skill than wheelspin in a parking lot

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Of all of the pony/muscle/whatever cars, I think the mustang looks like dookie. Drifting is for little asian girls in nissans.

 We did it first here in the USA... We called it the POWESLIDE. Now, we just rip though the corners with VERY sticky tires. |

With 400 HP? I don't see why it wouldn't powerslide. The question is, Are you sure you can control it? If not, will you mind all the damage when you crack it up?

Nothing is stupider than a race that is judged by style points.
