I found a local track that hosts a drift night every other week. It's on a small portion of a low speed track, one car at a time, so please skip the "drifting is dangerous" comments, my only interest in drifting is in a safe track environment. I don't plan to hoon around the city or show off or burn through a hundred tires lol.
My question is, does anyone have experience or insight regarding drifting with a select-shift auto? I know not having the ability to clutch kick will make it harder to initiate and maintain drifts, but can it be done without grenading the transmission and engine?
I went last week and saw people drifting everything from stock BRZ/FRS to full blown drift cars. What peaked my interest was seeing a 2012 3.7 mustang drifting, I talked to him and it was mostly stock besides basic suspension mods.
