very very very hard to do a real drift

there is just not enough power and too much traction. i have tried it many many times.


now on dirt, snow, etc. thats a different story

Car Info: silver 03 rex
inorder to do a well exicuted drift you need a rear wheel drive car inorder to controll the car. the rex being that it is an awd car it is very very hard as wrx ish already stated and hp is not really needed i went to the D1GP comp in irwindal ca and a AE 86 (86 toyota corolla) beat out 350, 180's, rx-7's, mr2's, skylines. and went on to win. but yes dont try to drift in a rex if you dont really want to fu#% up your car. just a word of the wise
