Lensman 11-01-2003, 01:22 PM Beautifully written. Well page 1 at least.... cueball 11-01-2003, 06:32 PM Fathers of the sport prefer the Nissan 240SX and Toyota Corolla GT-S They mention a few times that a lightweight rear wheel drive is the best. They than go on to mention a Toyota Corolla is a good example. But hasn't the Coralla always been front-wheel drive? eccles 11-02-2003, 01:36 AM Originally posted by cueball1029 But hasn't the Coralla always been front-wheel drive? Very few cars have always been FWD, unless their history only goes back 20 years or so. The KE10 Corolla debuted in Japan in 1966 and the US in '68, and Corollas remained exclusively RWD until 1984, but the RWD GT-S remained in production from '84 to '91. Mockngbrd 11-02-2003, 09:05 AM are they talking about the Trueno/Levin Corollas? SA22C 11-02-2003, 12:12 PM I'm torn, is drifting a sport, or a spectacle? There is definate skill involved, no doubt about it. I guess drifting is to road racing like figure skating is to speed skating. Both are sports, but one is far more artistic. Maybe they'll start doing drifting to music. ;) cueball 11-02-2003, 03:48 PM Originally posted by eccles Very few cars have always been FWD, unless their history only goes back 20 years or so.
