thats more of what i was looking for, some older cars, how easy was the early rx7 to work on. After only working on hondas i would thiink it would be a big change
They are super easy to work on.The engine bay is large enough for a V6 and the rotary is the size of a mini keg of beer.Carburated version is even easier to work on.If you strip off all the emissions realted stuff and add a full exhaust system with header you will increase power by 25-30%.8000rpm with zero vibration or thrash is fun as well.

"looks cool"....isnt that how your judged in drifting?

and fwd for going straight....a few weeks ago, i was pulling on a gew gts-t's and a few tt300z's going straight and through the corners. I think fwd is for a little more than just going straight.

Who's angry? "Us" Americans didn't look at drifting events and say "oh wow thats how you do it!" It takes more skill to drive around a track as fast as possible, not doing burnouts while people judge you on how much tire smoke you make Rallying is the only time I see drifting where I'm impressed becuase its the fastest way through a turn. Drift events and their "skills" impress me as much as figure skating

haha, I like the "pulling on" part. Its not like you actually said you beat them, but thanks for coming out.

I really think FWD cars are retarded and I am not really sure what the point of them are except in an economic sense. But maybe thats because i havent really driven a "good" fwd car if there is even such a thing.

A fairly cheap old RWD car would be a pre 85 toyota celica or celica supra.

I'd have to guess that you have never tried it on a competitive level. For example, to get the amount of smoke the pro level cars are getting, you need to enter what would be a 2nd gear corner for grip driving in 3rd gear. That means you may drop out of boost. To keep the car in boost most pro drivers have developed a technique where they hold the car at WOT while braking, and modulate the clutch to hold load & rpm, keeping the rev's up and the turbo spooled. Grip driving you are just controlling the slip angle, get it to wide, and most people spin. Drifting is trying to hold the slip angle as far as you can without spinning, which requires finer throttle and steering input.

No drifting is not racing, but it is usually more challenging, and almost always more fun.
