Judging from the list of names there I would say that Lee is fast... I wish we had some local competition in BS for Lee (I am not competition for Lee) to really gauge the car against...

I just started auto-x out here in Hawaii (since it's the only legal event we have besides drifting... which we all know AWD doesn't work too well in that situation) and it's a ****ing blast. I would HIGHLY suggest you guys go tear up some tires doing it.

You never did a AWD power slide.. You don't know what you're missing! LOL

sure AWD can drift, didn't you see my pic above? you can get the car sideways with AWD, just have to drive faster to do it.

any kind of hard driving isnt good for the drivetrain.. actually, launching from a deadstop is far worse on the drive train than a drift.. the speed differences and forces applied are far worse for a drag launch than drifting by far..
need to change those "unintentional" motions into "tensional"
