Watched a show tonight about Drifiting in the US, my wife commented about me driving our 911 like that (hanging the tail out, yippeeeee)...
I think the 914 might be better suited for this sport. Not too sure what the rules are, I wonder if they allow engine transplants or conversions??? hmmmmm Comments??? |

Im not going to get into an import vs import battle (?). I just think the corolla is more of an economy car, and was built like that from the factory. Yes, people have made them very quick and such, but the thought of driving that caliber car is just funny to me. I know it can be done and has been done. I went to a drift event in irwindale last year and it was something you have to see for yourself. I dont consider myself a porsche elitist (hell, i drive a vw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)) considering most of the cars I really like are American.
I understand drifting is a popular sport and brings a lot of people into motorsports, so for that its important. Im just saying I dont like it... thats it. Its not bad or stupid or anything like that... I dont like watching it because I dont like the cars. I would MUCH rather watch an R8 grace the track then a corolla/legend/240sx. |
