BS
on the weight. Many 2dr and 4dr skylines here are VERY heavy and still drifting in the mountians.. weight is not such an issue with the power
now about variety.. even in Japan D1 or just drifting in general for that matter.. you see the same cars in japan also.. with maybe a little larger pool of everyday cars.

Ok, no BS on the weight because weight is a significant factor in the mountains. Why do you think little miatas can rape this heavy bohemoths. It's cause they're light as hell. Lighter cars own heavy cars on the touge. Even if heavy cars have all this power, what's the point if they;re gonna have to take more time accelerating and more time braking because of thier weight. They can't take advantage of thier power.

there definately needs to be more variety in the cars that are drifting....don't get me wrong i love the 240(obviously) and rx-7, but it would be nice to see other cars in there. competition is what makes cars better. What would the skyline be if it didnt have the supra to compete with.
