It seems they took the traction control off as well to make this happen.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

For the record, the "modern" 04-06 GTO is this car. GM owns Holden, and Holden licensed GM the V2/VZ chassis (much to the chagrin of the higher ups in the US side of GM) that the Vauxhall VXR/Holden Monaros are built on. The Fourth Gen Pontiac GTO is a VXR/Monaro with some minor body changes. When the GTO was killed off (presumably citing tightened safety standards), they brought over it's "Full Size" cousin, the VE Commodore as the Pontiac G8, IMHO the GTO's 'grown up' successor. It's built off the VX/VT Commodore Chassis based on the new Opel Zeta platform. They had a short run in the US (2 years) and stopped in 2009. With that being said, It's not surprising that the GTO has drift heritage considering that Holdens are quite often seen in down-under drift competitions.

Ok this car is based off the Holden HSV, witch looks like a 2005 Pontiac GTO. I DON"T KNOW WHO TO TRUST ANYMORE!

[@STAG162]

They're one and the same. Holden exported their Monaro's to the US and the UK which Vauxhall made into the VXR. Unfortunately for the Aussies it was the last type of Monaro made. The one with the nostrils on the bonnet was locally known as the CV8Z. The last one that rolled of the line was auctioned off for something like AU$160k. Monaro's were brought out before the Commodore's, but the newer re-vamped Monaro's are the Holden Special Vehicle which look like the Commodore, although the Commy is still the poor cousin.

[@Skittleman2341]

Barrie Tingle GM did not sell Vauxhall, they sold off Saturn, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saab back in 2009 when GM was going down hill. Vauxhall still is producing cars today. Also, I have never heard of a Saturn Vectra. I have heard of an Opel Vectra, but not a Saturn Vectra.

When they drift are they pushing the Throttle or the clutch?

[@tinomacanovic9750]

+HoldShiftt2Run to go into drift, you press the clutch or the handbrake, and after that it is just the throttle and the steering wheel.but if you lose the power-you can press the clutch again.but I dont think that happens with this monsters.I've had 325 modified for drift, it was a beast.And I sell it when I got married because it spent 20 liters of fuel.So, the guy bought it, and after five days crashed the car completely.It was an awesome machine.

[@holdshiftt2run308]

Tino Macanović So basically they clutch/handbrake, and once into the drift they apply lock and pulse the throttle right? If I build a regular track car, you think it would be good to drift?

[@carsoftallinn3252]

no

[@ALIENdrifter66]

if you have enought power you can do it accelerating but you usually have to start it with handbrake, balancing or clutch

[@911shan]

Usually people prefer to do it by Handbrake, it's the simplest way. But once you are drifting, it's all braking, accelerating and keeping the car out of control, yet in control.
