How exactly do I get out of a drift? Ridge Racer you simply just steered into the drift and you'd snap back into position. I just cant get the hang of drifting in this game and its pissing me off because I need it to finish the damn max speed shit.
Im not sure what you are talking about exactly, but you just try not to drift out of control. Meaning if you cant snap back in time, you are either turning way too late or going too fast. Slow down enough so when you take a turn, gasing gives you enough traction to snap back. I think Rave Racer is the only game where you can take 90 degree turns while still flooring it.Quote:

The Enzo and F40 are the best cars for the top-speed challenges; they lose no speed when turning normally, they lose the least amount of speed when drifting, and they have the highest top speeds in the game. Just do not hit anything! >_<
Just as an aside (or a really useful protip): there is also an alternate method of drifting, where you never have to hit the brake. It only works in manual though, since it requires shifting. Once you are above ~155 mph, start turning, shift down and then immediately shift back up. Your car will immediately go into a heavy drift, but you will lose very little speed. This makes the difference between top players and not-so-top players.

Did anybody actually beat mission 9.6 - Race Jennifer? The slingshot catch-up routine is ruining this game for me and the enjoyment is all but gone; and the traffic is too thick to drift through on the last stage.
Apparently PSP and PS2 ports of arcade Outrun 2: Coast 2 Coast are coming...
