But over all rofl at this thread. Some ppl love 86s, including me. If ppl dont understand that then its fine. By the same virtue we look at all the s bodies and think why? Drifting is about fun. Driving the same car as everybody else to the point where ppl are sick of seeing them isnt IMO. Some ppl like the challenge, the underdog, and the fact that if you pull it off just right that you know it took proper skill to do. If you wanna be competitive, arent the best driver in the world, and dont want to take the risk of something different, then get a s body.
I could go argue alot of ppls points but whats the point? Everybody has their own views. But it is a pretty well known fact that most of the best drifters in the world started off in underpowered cars as it makes you learn a lot more. 86 wise Eric, Darren, Ueo etc. all seem to have done well for themselves so I'd prefer to listen to their views on these kind of things. Drifting a s body on the limit wont be as fun as drifting an 86 properly on the limit IMO.
