Thu, 28 August 2003 03:32 yeah, u don't need much power to drift.. if u know how to do it properly. power will only make power slides more easier to pull off. alot of japanese competitors use ae86 not because of the initial-d factor, but because of its design. its geometry and weight distribution is better than the ke71... so while doing a ke71 up with alot of mods will make the car handle better, and go alot faster, it won't necessarily mean the car will be a better drifting machine over an ae86. weight-shift control and car geometry is what it boils down to, and the ae86 is one of the more superb examples of this in its class. AE86s RX7s S13s S15s and all those other cars that you commonly see in drift videos like option2 and best motoring are chosen for a reason - they generally allow better drifting because: - they're FR (and FRs are generally easier to drift in) - they've got great weight distribution, which allows for better weight shift control (RX7's have the best at 50-50) - the distance between front and rear wheels are relatively long, which makes throwing the rear out more easier.
