Re: Crossfire Drift car
Oh i thought this was an srt6 i didn't see it was a limited. Having enough power to break it loose is going to be an issue.
But disabling and the TC and BAS is easy. I can give you pointers on doing that without losing ABS. simply removing your fuse doesn't disable it completely.
Locking the rear can be done.
Like i said the drive by wire system is going to be your biggest issue with being competative in drifting. This setup has a fraction of a second delay between actual throttle adjustments at the gas pedal and adjustments of the throttlebody on the engine.
Everyone is familiar with turbo lag, and automatic transmission delay(kickdown). Have you ever punched your gas petal in an auto and the car doesn't take off until the transmission kicked down to a different gear? well the drive by wire system is simliar in that it has lag between the action of your foot and the response of the car. Older cars tend to have an actual mechanical cable from the pedal to the transmission(autos) and throttle. Drive by wire systems dont have that mechanical linkage and actually communicate electronically. Now drive by wire differs between manufacturers but thats the gist of it.

Re: Crossfire Drift car
Wouldn't the "Yaw" sensor need to be disabled as well?
I've had great results by simply disconnecting the center wire on the traction control modual.

I don't have anti-locks, but never cared much for em anyway.
Only the 04 (6 speeds) can get away with doing this without causing a lot of other problems from what I understand.

~Just about any car in Rear-Wheel drive can drift with the best techniques. It would just need tires called "slicks" which mean they can help the car drift better and easier. Hope I helped
~Yes because it is a rear wheel drive car. Just about any rear wheel drive car can drift. The Crossfire is not a good drifter because it is weak and does not have a lot of power. Only the SRT-6 Crossfire made in 2005 would be a great drift car because it has over 300 horsepower and torque
Reference: collision center manager.
There you have it .. get an SRT with slicks to drift, the limited is too weak and does not have enough power. If you need to know more, ask your local collision center manager.

Slicks increase grip, on all accounts, on all surfaces in dry weather. No one on the planet slides on slicks... no one. All you need is decent rubber up front and something that holds air in the rear.
And as far as sliding an srt6, anything more than a powerslide will be impossible... Its an automatic, with no way to clutch kick, or leave it in 2nd or 3rd (you'll need to tap the limiter for a good long while in some cases the entire track)
I'll teach you people what a proper car for drifting is yet

But couldn't you compensate for the "NA" Crossfire's pitifully weak power by simply installing skinnier tires?

I've had all the way down to 235/35/19s on the rear, it helped a bit but not enough. I'm going to put 215/25/19s on and see what happens. If it still cant carry a slide I'll put 18's on the back
pulling the traction control fuse also disables the yaw sensor, and abs, and the esp,bas

Re: Crossfire Drift car
basically, the most popular and affordable platforms are as follows
ae86 corolla
240s (s13,s14)
rx-7s (fc & fd)
mustangs (not the greatest car, but with tons of suspension work they can do it)
there are more platforms, but those are guaranteed to be the most whored out and widely available, not to mention a plethora of aftermarket options and used parts

Re: Crossfire Drift car
I would love to see someone build a purpose built drifting platform out of the crossfire, but the aftermarket simply isnt there. Plus the R&D to get to the competitive level you'd need the car to be at would be very cost prohibitive, not the mention the availability of replacement parts, suspension arms, clutches, etc etc.
