it was me that cut the post short as it got stuck in the moderation queue because you didnt have significant privlages to post up links.
you cant post up links to competing sites unless you are a regular supporter of this forum.

As a new member your asked to read the rules which are simply dont swear and dont bring attitude against other sites or members

the adm/mod have a job to do keeping the apperance of the site clean,if you write something disregarding the rules, they'll wipe it, simple as that

this isnt just a drift site, its a multiple topic 1, we will disagree with you in 1 post and agree with you in others, so live with it

The AE86 is a quality car for drifting but if I had the choice I'd have an S14 Turbo. That would do me nicely....

I personally find drifting as a sport to be quite pathetic and a waste of time. At least in rallying the driver is using oversteer to get round the stage as fast as possible, unlike in drifting "competitions" which doesn't seem to have any particular aim..

anyway, I guess light cars are better because they need less power from the engine to loose traction, and it has to be set up with the right kind of tyres and differential..

for rallying purposes, a classic subaru impreza would be the best.. although on tarmac, a rear wheel drive car is needed for the best spectacle.

p.s. i didn't intend to cause any offence to drift fans, just saying my thoughts

Drifting is about how sideways you can get the car. The aim is to keep one continues drift all the way to the finish. They do reach some high speeds fully sideways. It takes immense control and feel to achieve this. It's not just the car that has to be up to the job. The driver does too.

firstly, calling drifting pathetic and pointless is a surefire way to offend drifters.

secondly, as said by TN, drifting takes an IMMENSE amount of skill and practice to perfect. i know people who can drift absolute sh**boxes around corners at 85mph then pull off a perfect transition down the straight and take the next corner at the same speed. unless you have ever attempted drifting, you shouldn't make judgements on the sport. and it IS as much a part of motorsport now as rallying etc.

If i were building a drift car then i would keep it N/A so that throttle response remains totally linear. Not saying a turbo car isnt good for drifting, but i would keep it NA
