Drifting is just the gay ricer ripoff of a part of rally racing. It is only cool for a while, but pretty soon it just gets retarded./end rant
UM, tell that to the guys in japan who've been doing it since the early 80's if not earlier.

Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

Sorry to tell you, but rally racing is MUCH MUCH MUCH older than drifting. I admit when I first saw it i thought it was kinda cool, but after a while it just dawned on me that the only reason I thought it was cool was because it was a rip off of rally races, then it just got old and annoying. -

Rally racing involves racing multiple different types of terrain (Tarmac, Snow, Gravel, Ice, Rain, Hills, Ditches(not on purpose of course) etc....) whereas drifting is all about driving skill and car control. Drifting is much less of a race in the traditional sense. You don't have to pass the other guy to win, its much more of an art, like water ballet or synchronized swimming (that sounds really gay doesn't it???).

Not any idiot can learn how to drift WELL. Sliding around one corner isn't considered drifting. That's just a powerslide which any idiot can do. And some people just suck at driving anyway. Tjamz knows what drifting is all about from what he said in one of his last posts. I wish I could drift well and would like to get into it but I like not crashing my car and not having to spend alot of money on tires. And has anyone really ever looked for a good spot to practice? I havn't. But I just ordered a set of adjustable rear upper arms for my 240 and coilovers are next, so that's the beginning of my suspension build up. So maybe I'll give it a shot when I have some better equipment to work with.

Seems like an mr2 would be hard to control in a drift. Don't mr cars suffer from snap oversteer or something? I dunno. But I heard that a fast and the furious 3 is coming out and its gonna be based on drifting. I don't know if its gonna be good or bad for the sport. Should have been left out of the mainstream.
