just want to point out that "pro" drifting is mainly for style and show, thats how they are awarded points and as a result, the cars are setup primarily for style and show, not nescessarily function.

Well we do not want to push people away. I stick to saying there is no need to swap in a STI motor in the car. Original poster or not.

Same car but updated You're definitely correct though, the 2nd car is much better suited to the sort of shenanigans pictured.

You're missing the point though, Formula D cars make up maybe 0.01% of drift cars. So that small percentage of ugly cars, just because it's what you see on TV, is not what it's all about. That'd be like me thinking that all italians are like the people on jersey shore just because I saw them on TV. Not true at all... Pro drift cars nowadays are all about function. |

The functional side of it is by far a bigger factor... I don't think you know much about drifting. |

The logical solution isn't always the most fun. Yea, when your car is slammed you have to make a few compromises in the 'handling' department. But you just compensate by driving the car like a madman and having a f#ckton of FUN doing it. This is what i like about grassroots drifting. Just a bunch of people with projects they build themselves and doing what they like.

Thanks Captain obvious. Who follows drifting and think that Formula D is the only series? In other series they are not all slammed either. That is the point. Slammed don't make it more functional or a better drift car, that's the point. |

No one ever said that having it slammed made it more functional or a better drift car, are you slow? What's the point? That the majority of drift cars are low becaust it looks cool? That's exactly my point. |
