Drifting with DS2 is possible, and right now i have been practicing more and more often....as matter of fact my left thumb is swollen due to those practices......haihz......
I missed GT3 because i was in a boarding school when it came out.....those few years i was grounded in the school all the time and therefore I had little time to mingle with games...
But I started drifting GT series ever since playing GT2 using my PC (running on emulators). Some people say that amongst the GT series, GT2 is one of these titles that can't really drift. I drifted some of the cars at Laguna Seca, with almost stock settings. Therefore as now in GT4, many people also complained that it is also not easy to drift compared to GT4.....but somehow i believe this can be overcome, by practice, practice and still practice......
I am more of a "show" drifter rather than a "racing" drifter. Many videos I see are most on "racing" drifts, meaning letting the car to drift but with the intention of getting a faster time going through corners.
I myself still stick to low HP cars to drift, prefering to keep them as stock as possible.

aikes, are u using the X and the Square button and the D-Pad to drift in GT4? or analog stick? how come will swollen? ermmm hehe time to share my oppinion :P i use my left and right analog stick, left to steer, right to gas and brake. and manual gear full time comfirm. i never found out that my finger have pain o, eye is more pain than finger hehe.
yeah GT2 was hard to drift, u know why? ermmm correct me if i am wrong la, i feel that GT2 is more real than GT3 la, cause GT2 got heavy understeer, car bumping due to too soft or too hard suspension setting, over setting of downforce will cause bump and so on. GT3 doesnt have all that thing ( compare with Race Car la like Altezza LM, S2000 LM and so on ) i feel GT4 its just an upgrade from GT2 and not GT3. yeah practice makes your drift charm day by day :) keep up the good work dude.
in GT3, i was the speed drifter but Simulation Tyre all the way ( yeah its the most spliperlly tyre in GT3 ) even all stock cars can have a full long drift with this tyre.
i fight my drifting time to get it faster cause i think shorter time means smoother drift ( less adjustment, took the right/fastest line, and minimum mistake ). acctually the video that i post to this thread, i feel that they are doing show drift, just this time i feel that GT4 tyre, torque was diffrent, and it makes the drift hard to be adjust, if u got play GT3 then u will know, GT3 will have a longer high torque rpm to play with, even u enter with low rpm, u can play it up high, over speed due to speeding back. ermmm duno la, i also duno how to explain, video are the only way :P hehe got chance i show u guys my drift in GT3 and GT4 la :P
