heh, long time reader so i figured i might as well ask something while i wait for my first car... *sigh* i need a car,

Anyways, been wondering about why people use heel toe, because all it does it keep the car from jolting when you downshift right? or does it also keep the wheels from locking so you don't spin out? Any clarification on what heel-toe is or what it does would be very helpful, considering drift bible didn't say anything about it =P

Also, wondering about suspension. Stiffer simply allows for less body-roll during cornering right? but too stiff will mean the downforce is too great so it's grip cornering instead of drift? just wanna see if i have that info correct. Also, i don't see how drifitng is so fast, seems like it would slow a car down during corners instead of faster.

And last question concerning four-wheel drift. What is it? is it simply grip-cornering but at the limit of the tire grip? so it's like half-drift half grip? i don't see how that would help cornering angle. Oh, and what is slip angle? it's the angle your tires make during a corner vs. the actual angle your turning right?

just wondering bout this stuff, so if any of you drift "guru's" out there could help, greatly appreciated ^_^
