How do I go about drifting a Camaro?

I saved up for an entire year to make a down payment on a Camaro. While it has great power and handling, I’ve always wanted to learn how to drift. What do I need to do to learn drifting in a Camaro?

A
Chevy Camaro
is a great muscle car, but it’s not exactly the best for drifting due to its heavier weight. However, it comes with rear-wheel drive, which is essential for drifting. The only thing you might need to make drifting easier is a stick shift. So before you buy, make sure you put a premium on a manual transmission. Once you have the car, here’s how to go about drifting a Camaro:
  • Head into a turn or bend going about 20 mph. Make sure the car is in second gear.
  • Turn the wheel in the same direction as the bend.
  • Drop the clutch by pushing the clutch pedal down.
  • You should feel the rear wheels start to lose traction as you drift.
  • Continue the maneuver until you’re through the bend.
  • Turn the wheel in the opposite direction to straighten out your vehicle.
If you want to drift a Camaro, you’re undertaking a huge risk of damage to your vehicle. One way to overcome this risk is by having an affordable, yet high-quality car insurance premium through the
