MANY of you have asked about drifting an automatic car, SO WE DID IT! We borrowed a Mustang from our homies over at the blue oval and had some fun! It was challenging with all of the new cars sensors and computers. But we disconnected the rear wheel speed sensors, and the ABS relays, BOOM, Lets shread! I am an idiot, all you need to do is disconnect the plug next to the airbox on the drivers side lol.
Big thanks to DRIFZ wheels, Nitto Tire, And +Lonestardrift for helping us shoot this instructional vid.
DRIVE SMART BUT HARD PEEPS!

Instructions unclear: I flipped my dads ice cream truck.

😂😂
Lmfao i thought you were gonna say got dick caught in ceiling fan.
@@crustyowlturd lol
Why is this not hard to believe
Nice.....now I can drift in the Walmart Parking lot at 2am
Ko_Ru Ta_Ku that’s a good idea fuck yeah
great idea
@@ashirakhter6088 until u hit a lamp post or get caught by a cop
See you there!
Do u drive a honda by any chance
If I see a Prius doing donuts I’ll have to report this video
mtthedon stfu
it can only do a donut backwards cause it is front wheel drive
Both of you realise this is a joke, right?
RubricKnight378 some people just think that they can drift any car so am taking the chance of being r/wooshed
Yeah i understand but he is only joking, i dont think any sane person will believe they can drift a normal prius or another car like it.
How the hell is this guy so calm while explaining it.
Many many drifts! lol

He’s a professional driver
Step 1: Find a crowd
Step 2: Floor it
The car will _automatically_ drift toward the crowd. Done! Now run.

EthanGill Vlogs jokes
If its a mustang yeah!!
Wait... did he rent a stang and swap the stock wheels to drift it then bring it back? Lmao if he did, legend
@Johnny Dang actually he said he borrowed it that could mean he borrowed it from a friend or even took it without permission because he did the air quotation thing with his fingers as he says "borrowed" it ....... dumbasss
Johnny Dang dumbass
Johnny Dang dumbass
Johnny Dang he could have borrowed it not rented it. “Borrowed”.. smh ... dumbass
@JONA JONES We are all dumbasses on this planet.

😂😂😂
Yo manny is that you!??
Lmao
This is actually really cool and helpful. I dont have full movement in my left leg so i cant drive stick. Knowing you can do the same things in a automatic as a standard is awesome.
The Tesla model 3s are the best automatic drift car, since if you need more throttle you just push down further instead of having to wait for the shift.
@@AZEOforreal not sure if will work with all the safety electronics...
@@2WheelDerness it has a drift mode
Did you actually try it?
@@brokenbaron2434 Unfortunately I'm still poor and I completely forgot about this video/comment lol If I'm ever lucky enough to get a level above poor af I'll lyk how it goes lmao
I'm pretty sure we all need a whole series on "rental car Olympics" please
Nate Dickey Fuck yes
rental cars are the fast cars in the world
What’s your talent?
Dude: drifting any types of cars such as automatic cars for example and demonstrating how to drift while focusing on drifting. (999iq)
You mean his talent is his driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner
You are hired!!
I’m building an automatic drift car
@@brody89GT hows that going?
Javier Pacheco going great
Pretty hard to drift a car that aims at people.
ChaosUcs lmao
haha. Yea its wild trying to manhandle it around with all the people watching.
Chelsea DeNofa no he meant the Mustang stereotype
Only clicked on this video to read comments like this! Lol
Listen to the amity affliction they are pretty good like the world alive

How to drift an automatic
1: find gravel parking lot
2: stop
3: pedal to the floor
4: steer where u want and stop by taking foot off
that’s me hahahaha
Lmao, that's what I do
Same with manual
5: Ruin your paint job 😂
Tires are fuxked after 4 doughnuts on gravel, know from experience and $800 on new tires on my family suv lmaoo
Watching this just in case I need to go all out during a diamond heist
Darian Minton just in case* pick me up Just in Case ;) I need to be a shooter
One of the few who can slide tires in a mustang and not kill everyone. Props.
5:00 Damn, the smoothness, the control.
Pure skill.
I knooooow I'm losing my shit right now. This is sooooo good. More satisfying than taking a blade out of a forge and slicing some fresh butter with it
He made it look so simple, i almost flipped my car lmao
poeter14 Ahahahahaha
Shit has me crying 😂 lmao!
How in the literal fuck bro slow the fuck down
poeter14 😂😂😂😂
RarriTv Duffwell don’t try to drift an SUV kids
This is the quietest drifting ive ever seen...
"We borrowed it" admit it Chelsea.. You stole that shit..
We were given the car... But maybe not for drifting? lol
First video that I watched after I got my license
Must be so strange hand braking without needing to use a clutch in the beginning. Pretty sure i'd have some sort of a stroke when my left foot slams into the foot well in search of the missing left pedal
+86Themadhatter yea I hit the brakes a few times lol
I do that every time I get into a automatic anyways lol
86Themadhatter aZzzzZzz

Just like instructions unclear: wear the heck is the dang clutch?

Hahah yeah dude especially with that lake effect all over the roads
Tbh driving in the snow isn’t hard I’ve done it a ton and haven’t had any problems, I’m only 15
5Jack_Attack5 yeah obviously it’s easy you just can’t go fast and then brake right away
"The lady was nice enough to let us back there"..turned camera to long hair person..i serious thought that was the autozone lady you were talking about lolz...no offense to your brother
BRO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING LOL
Bee Souvannasaeng same bro
LMAO Hilarious
Felt bad agreeing with this 😐
Lmao same
killing it with the videos. love the content . keep it up!!! you and Caleb are making me look for cheap bmw like everyday to start drifting. huge fan from Tampa, Fl
Antonio Lloveras as Shia leboeuf would say: JUST DO IT
Tampa is loaded with cheap drift ready cars! I picked up a turbo Z for 5k and now I traded for a 2013 frs 👌
Does anyone know what the name of the beat in the intro is??? That triggered an old memory for me.
my little sister now has 5 traffic tickets because of this video.... XD THANK YOUUUUU
high school kids are very happy seeing this video
As a horse person, this makes perfect sense to me. The way you explain it make the think that drifting is pretty much leg yielding a car (a movment in which the horse moves its body at an angle along a line and crosses its legs). Counter-steering also sounds quite familiar. Autocrossing and drifting are among the few motorsports I feel like I can actually understand.
Now I'll be able to drift my Dad's pathfinder to the grocery store. Awesome video!
6:07
“Similar to the-“ *PPPPPHHHHGGGGGGGHHHJJJGGHH*
Bro that gave me a fucking heart attack lol
Never met someone that could explain it in real time this is crazy helpful 🏆
I have a manual, don’t know why I’m watching this lol
Its actually kind of funny to watch. I have never needed to drift an auto, but I had fun shooting this.
Two words: travel, rentals...
bro I don't even have a car. not even near any car. (I'm in prison)
Me looking at my ecoboost mustang after watching this video🤪🤪
My ecoboost:😰😰
It'll be fine, they are designed for this type of thing !:)
i take corners too fast/with a shitty angle and loose tracktion pretty often. thanks for the video! now i can make the best of these situation
Me: *wants to learn drifting*
Video guy: lemme tell you about the story of my life.
Too bad my car is front wheel drive and the hand break is actually a pedal :/
i`m drifting my impala when its snowing without a problem!
William Malamas snow drifting is for newbs
your handbrake is a pedal? I feel like it's more easier to drift it because you can use both your hands on the wheel and makes it less uncomfortable.
Spadeofdarkness™ it's actually harder cause now you'll have to have fast foot action to pop it in and then right back out
Shane Goomasy well maybe for me. I play the drums with a double bass drum so I got two pedals for one drum. then again, it's a drum pedal not a stiff car pedal.
6:07 R.I.P. my subwoofers :(
this would have been helpful exactly one month ago, took a stock p71 crown vic to a drift even and owned it until i smoked out 1st and 2nd gears. watching this vid is making me wonder what its going to be like when my stick swap is done.
Mental Defect Racing lol i slid my mom's p71 into a curb. Absolute boat.
I have a weird feeling you were the one at the Millville hobby lobby car meet a while back. Was that you?
nope i dont go to car meets, i spend too much time looking at it in hte garage to want to do anything but drive it.
Mental Defect Racing damn man. It was pretty wet that night and for some reason less people showed up so we just started dicking around and drifting and drag racing because it was the perfect was to slide. This dude in a crown Vic just comes by and was ripping it by himself for like a solid 2 minutes, almost hits a curb, and leaves 😂. I don't even think he came for the car meet, I think he just saw us drifting and joined us a bit.
street drifting is really fucking stupid, i quit doing it when it cost an entire season of track days worth of money. i go to clubloose 2
Nice tutorial on drifting! You can sure shred!
Thanks for the video...
I’m finishing a build on a 68 firebird with auto. I was debating some drift action so this was helpful in deciding. Projections are 520 hp and about 490 ft/lb torque, so I’m thinking I’m not gonna need handbrake assistance to get my backend loose..
A suggestion...a split screen for interior/exterior would rock...
Ima go look at ur other videos...👍🏼
You're an awesome instructor! Entertaining and knowledgeable. Thx man ❤️
i wanna start drifting and we only have automatics in the fam im very thankful for this old old tutorial that is still great to this day
So what happens when you mess up? I’m really curious about the physics. Would you rather just keep spinning or is there risk of you flipping?
You have to have balls and stay in it.
Worst case you spin out or mow some grass or rub some body work.
Suddenly letting off the throttle ,panicking turning in and gaining sudden traction can flip you. Especially if you roll the tires under the rim.
There's a video with jay Leno and Bobby Sox where they flip a gasser on its roof.
It's an exaggerated example but you'll see where he goofed and flipped it.
unlikely to flip at such a low speed
Man Chelsea is the man !! Saw you drift at FD this past week, coolest thing ever 🤘🏻
I really love to learn what u do with the car but unfortunately i don't own one.....Thank u lots & thanx to youTube for letting people like we have more to learn from people like u. Love it..
This is the reason why u don’t buy rental cars 🤣😂
I bought a rental Mustang with 20000 miles and I drove it until 200,000 miles until I wrapped it around a tree.
Miguel Angel was it a maple tree or nah
Miguel Angel more like wrapped into a crowd of people
9:35 The car is pissing itself 🤣
Recently bought a mustang 5l V8 and this video is a game changer. Much appreciated bro!!!
Instructions unclear: I accidentally drifted formula 1 car and can’t find my moms van. What do I do?
Don’t want it to be suspicious… Proceeds to make a public UA-cam video beating the piss out of said rental HAHAHAHA gold!!
You and Taylor Ray have the best drift channels! Informative and fun!
I have a Chevrolet Cruze manual shift and that car is perfect in everyway. Best for drifting, burnouts, donuts.etc
This is a very educational video but I think it would've been easier to see what was done if there was an overhead view.
Not all auto's will stay in selected gear, some will change dependent on RPM
If you use the paddles it’ll lock the gear in most cars.
I feel like I would get the feeling of controlling it very fast but just starting the drift seems so scary
My 2004 Jetta wagon is about to have some fun
I drift my automatic E36, and people don't seem to believe it's possible right after they just watched it happen lol..
Oh, and by the way, I would love it if you could do a bit of a tutorial on nailing intentional 360s? :) I've done a couple of nice ones mostly by accident, but I really don't have an understanding of how it happened.
Hammerhaus Kennel with hydro ebrake?
Nope, just an extended handle on the factory parking brake. Chelsea style. Hydro would be better I think, but it totally works.
Hammerhaus Kennel but it still locks the rear wheels like a manual car?
Absolutely! As long as you remember to let off the gas at the same time as you pull the handle it works perfectly. If you stay on the gas, the parking brake will not overpower the power of the engine.
I can do 360's in my mustang, it's just picking up speed then serious countersteer from a really hard whip
Now we need to see a guide for an automatic without paddle shifters haha
I wish you told what kind of damage you should expect for the car when you press both brake and gas pedals at the same time to do burnouts. You can obviously do slow speed drifting with that technique, too, but you'll overheat your brakes and tires pretty fast. In addition, you have to be careful not to overheat your torque converter.
And if you don't have old style automatic gearbox with torque converter but robotic gearbox, do not try pressing both brake and gas pedals to do burnout unless you want a clutch repair project, too.
Obviously, any technique you use, the tires are gone after you start doing burnouts or drifting.
No fucking shit it's gonna wear your brakes out. He said it himself the brakes are actively working against the transmission in an auto because you can't clutch in
I literally saw this today was on my friends car and got it first try 😂😂 i was born for this 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
And it spins out again.... It's a mustang bro. It aiming at the camera man.
I just bought an LS430 out of Houston, super clean and it’s got the 3UZ. I want nothing more than to be able to throw it around when it rains here during the winter.
I laughed so hard at the noise on 1:06
I just subscribed!......cus you're so calm at doing stuffs that are fun filled and split seconds away from ER or Death 💯💪🏽
How to drift a unicycle
Can you show a video on where I can disconnect all these relays and plugs
That track is even wet. Any car drifts in the rain.
did a perfect drift onto a rainy road in my 2004 jeep laredo
Best how to drift auto video on youtube. Thank you Chalsea, very informative.
I saw you post about making this video on IG forever ago. I've been teasing the idea of putting effort into my auto GTO to learn to properly slide it because just having a pretty show car has gotten a little boring. I guess its time to throw some other wheels on the back and learn to do some cool stuff in it. My only concern is the longevity of the 4l60e trans with using the handbrake a lot.
Yea its unlocked off throttle
Theres 2 type of people that lose their license. People who drive and the ones that do it sober😂
No clutch no problem!
Until the clutches and bands inside that auto trans snap in half!
+Alvin Ameyaw you shouldn’t be drifting an auto if your doing it all the time anyways.
I've seen you on lo inertia vlogs 🤘🏽
Why though?
My experience is, If you rally a car, you will break it. If you drift a car, you will break it. If you drag a car, you will break it....
I expect to have to repair stuff if I’m going to push performance limits, especially if I’m beating up on stock iron...
It was snapping 2nd gear in my Indian scout, after an over bore/cam/exhaust/ignition upgrades, that taught me how to ride that kind of torque...
This was so real. Having to go get lug nuts is just real life issue :) So real
It actually was. I fully expected the stock lug nuts to work with these wheels
Awesome, cant wait to get this good in my auto z32tt
Lol great video! You are like me when I do a UA-cam instructional videos. When I realized I miss tools or parts, it is the AutoZone or Harbor Freight tools time! Hahaha
+Entjik Jeffrie Hell yea man!
Drift awd? Or has Vaughn said that's reserved for Ken
Rayyan Iqbal he shouldn’t have to say that for you to know that
How to drift manumatic 101
Great video man most definitely will be doing this in my nearest parking lot !!
I have a 1994 manual supra drift missle but I also have a 2017 mustang ecoboost in auto as my daily. Weirdly enough the mustang is super easy to drift on stock setup.
Right? its a good car.
My car has a classic 350chevy can I still do the hand break entry without cooking my gearbox cause its factory original
What a perfect way to flip my car and pop those tires...
I had a toyota rav4 4x4 auto mk1 facelift 98-2000 they have lsd rear diff, very fun sideways. I really miss that one
I can smell the car through my phone
This is the most in-depth thing I've ever seen.
Bro, im trying to drift my moms car and it's lit!
I tried it on an automatic '97 BMW 323i. Managed to do that while keeping on the "low" position, occasionally shifting up to "2"
I’m trying drift my grandmas Jeep Liberty
I tried, I rolled it. Rest in peace grandmas liberty
Lol
and he’s drifting a MUSTANG like that ?! lol. must have balls of steel
This helps if you drive with hand controls
Idk if i commented here before but anyone who sees this i am just watching the vid to play a game with real physics
ok, now a how to drift a fwd car lol
adrian arechavala use McDonald's trays
Handbrake and pray
Scandinavian flick , throttle and momentum
Any plastic trays on rear tires, rip handbrake all the way and floor it and just start swingin it :)
cookie boii but the ones they give out are like a cardboard that smells like shit
I only do this in the winter when there’s enough snow on the floor in the back of a factory. Used to do it in my moms old 2006 Chevrolet trailblazer lmao
Won't using the handbrake damage/stress the transmission? Can you apply the same handbrake technique with a DCT transmission?
Best how to drift video i seen.
of course its easy bc thats wat fords do best spin
Doris Menore I love mustangs and ford but that is HILARIOUS
your videos are really good ! keep goin. love that stuff. helps a lot !
It’s called you slam the hand brake and accel and hope you don’t spin out or crash
this video was very easily informative and well organized into different parts. thanks!!!
can i do this with my astro van?
Did it in my ford econoline before I sold it, so I’d say so😂
You always offer so much information it’s great !!!!!! Your one of the very dudes on UA-cam
you mentioned automatics not having a lot of self steer is that just with automatics or do manual cars have different suspension setups?
I meant this automatic in particular. Also, It seems like less self steer because they dont engine brake off throttle during transition.
Chelsea DeNofa I've heard the new stangs have some kind of adaptive electric steering that keeps it from self steering quick enough to catch up with the rear end. Is that true or is it all in the transmission?
just got here after watching him drift on good ol cleetus’s channel .i have this ecoboost thank you for the tips you are a beast
I went to sleep 3 times and it still half the video
i drifted my 2003 mercury sable with this tutorial. shit was tight.
