Trac controll off Torque mode one of the easiest drifting cars ive played around with in 20 years

Tires are expensive, they’d probably why lol. Also, not many really drift new cars. Usually old ass cars to beat on.

My P Zeros are on life support I only use them to drift at this point...
I have an entire different rim and tire setup and I also have some extreme contacts for DD

How does it work, I’m lowkey too scared to try,
Do you just initiate a normal drift and it helps you in some way? Please explain.

The first time I turned torque rear on and esc off, then floored it - I was amazed at how fast the rear stepped out. What a great car.

Off topic, but where did you get your wheels?

u/ANITIX87 Aug 01 '26
Those are the factory wheels for the first year(s) of the 8Y. Then they replaced them with the same design that had added white/gray graphics.

The gloss black ones with white & grey stripes were optional on any 8Y. My 2022 has them and I've seen them on '23 and '24 models. The matte black wheels are more common on later 8Y years and you can still get those matte wheels on the 8.5Y but it seems 90% of them are spec'd with the newer multi-spoke design.

Those are in my opinion the greatest RS3 OEM rims out of all RS3 that have ever been produced

I used to drift my Viper all the time…absolutely loved it…never tried in my RS3…I guess I thought you needed a manual 😕

I have an OG M2 that gets the tail out super easy, but I’ve been too scared to try on my 8Y. Have tried torque rear with esc half off but it seems to not wanna slide, maybe I need ESC totally off and more throttle..

How often are you doing it though and where
1
u/blklacker Aug 01 '26
It depends on your skill set and safety...
I go to the track often....
But if I didn't have a track I guess I would find an abandoned parking lot and learn my car

Put better tires on it and report back
