It's strange that more people don't drift the Supra. With its wheelbase and balance it makes for very predictable drifts. (Maybe the MK4s are too expensive and the MK3's aren't cool enough.)

A vid of Orido in his old RS-R Mk4:



This FR-S may be less happy in a drift with a shorter wheelbase and more centralized mass.
