and pointless. Although I have been known to watch NOPI on TV once and a while.....but, it's NOT to see the cars.

It just seems to me this is just a big marketing fad to keep the young, naive kids spending their money by putting on a big show.
anyways, I don't know what I'm talking about? hell when I was 16, I learned to turn a rotted out Buick sideways at 50 on snow covered WI roads with 6 foot ditches. yah 2500 lbs at with 500 hp a couple inches off the ground looks like fun, but I gaurantee 5000 lbs of Detroit finest big block barge with 2 feet of body roll on icy roads is check your shorts for stains time.

One person voices a OPINION and everybody gets butt hurt! Gotta love simple minded people! Just because you are used to everybody doing nothing but riding your nuts about the car doesn't mean you have to get all offensive when somebody thinks differently. He never said nothing negative about the setup other than he would of personally picked another car. U asked why he asked that and he explained himself in a very good manor i thought. I personally hate 240's and drifting but i think your work of art is amazing. I hate the car but love the development that was put into it. Am i going to get my *** rung for not liking a certain body style of car now?

Drifting is fun and fun to watch dont get me wrong. But the fact of useability in a drift car is retarded. Fully dropped suspension, big body kits and decals, they are great of the course but the second you get on the real road it drives like crap. Bottom out on every pebble, rock hard suspension, rip body panels off, just real rugged driving. Yes you can always adjust them up but who does? Here in MI your drift car would last a mile. If you have a drift car its being trailered.
I love to watch drifting but its doesn't make sense to me to spend thousand of dollars to never drive a car and to potentially wreck it (Not saying drag cars dont). But with my drag car, I'll drive to the strip, run a 10, drive home, and race people on the way. I guess its just who you are, but to come into someones thread and start drama, thats a no no. We are here to be positive, especially in someone else's thread.

what the hell are you talking about
i drive the ever loving **** out of my car. just because i dont drive it on the street doesnt mean it doesnt get the **** beat out of it when i drive it. i spent more time above 100mph last sunday that 95% of the people on this forum will in the next year.
also, theres a big difference between a real drift car, and those body kitted, ultra low, show-drift cars (i know thats an oxymoron, its all show). but some of our cars are built for all out performance and dont even have body kits, or only run them because they are free.
edit: and mike i agree 100%, ive driven everything from full blown honda challenge racers, fast drag cars, to shifter karts and even had a few laps in circle track cars, its all fun and thats all that matters. its just sad some people cant get past the stereotypes about certain motorsports.

Have u not watched the NHRA lately or seen it? There is a sticker of every sponsor on the car with HUGE graphics! Why isn't that "ricer"? You need to crawl out of your hole and realize that there is more to the sport than just "doing donuts in a open parking lot"! There happens to be a lot of skill involved in drifting just like there is in drag racing. On another note there are WAY more drag cars that have "thousands of dollars" spent on them to just drive a 1/4 of a mile than there are drifters that only drift their cars. Get the **** out of your little hole you have been stuck in and realize that there is other motorsports besides drag racing! And not every state's roads are as bad as ****** Missouri's!
Well you know what they say "you **** like you race" I guess that means for drag racers that it's over pretty quick.....
