I haven't read through all 7 pages of commentary so I apologize if I'm being repetetive.

I don't drift. I don't plan on drifting. I don't see the propriety in drifting.

That said, though, I appreciate it as an art form...a way for individuals to demonstrate control of their vehicle in a fast paced, high intensity environment.

Nascar, on the other hand, doesn't display one iota of skill to do anything but drive a fast car fast.

I DO THAT EVERYDAY ON WHEN I'M ON 495 IN MARYLAND. HOME DEPOT SHOULD PAY/ENDORSE ME.

They also have some for the Z, but didn't publish it on their site since there are so many copies out there
i remember posting a thread about this awhile ago. It ended up being cwest and nismo were the only ones actually tested in a wind tunnel.

by the way, i like the drift cars better than the nascar cars, because all nascars cars look the same.

read page 3 if you want to know my thoughts concerning the skill it takes, i do respect that. As far as nascar not having skill, there is just as much to it as most other forms of racing. I hate nascar more than any other form of racing, but i still realize it takes skill to drive inches away from other drivers at 180mph.
