I do agree that the GTO is not a mountian drifter.. but I call

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.

 

yall have never heard of bubbadrift have you? *laughs* welcome to tx.

i've seen his site before.

 

hv eyou not seen the new falken mustang for JR?

 

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.

What type of bodykit is on the Falken S13. Blitz?

 

And it has = rollover....not fun at all. Especially while its raining.

 

Damn, I wanna dsee a G35 sideways. Haha, drifting in style.

 

i saw a marudur (sp) at formula D in houston. It did look a little funny seeing a luxury car drift but never the less was cool as sh@t

 

WOW!

 

new G35 drifting = Nissan Soarer!

 

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.

 

Competition between driver skill would come into play more no? That and individual tuning.

 

its no different than a 350z drifting... they are also much mor eweildy than a SC
