Drifting blows chunks. All the real drifters will tell you it the very worst thing (abuse-wise) you could possibly do to a car, except, perhaps, launching it off a bridge. Go to a Corrola GTS meet. All the drift cars have front end damage and have been through several engines. Watch a drift - 3 seconds of drift - 20 seconds of recovery.

Even though the 240Z's are "easily replaced" in the States, I wouldn't drift one. If you wreck it, you don't want to be sending it to the crusher.

I think drifting is great. Its not really that competitive, but as a community based event its awesome. If you go on Drifting.com or DailyDrifter.com the guys are just so nice.

Even though drifting is kind of like ice dancing for cars, its entertaining, and that's the entire purpose of drifting today. Is to entertain.
