lol.. i know how wide they are, i have 2 of them.

i m saying if you compare wheel base, you have to measure the width to make a comparison with any value.

shorter wheel base may not mean its harder to drift in my opinion.

suspension setup is very tricky.

kumakubo's team orange cars are setup with an almost perfect square and nomuken's elongated skyline wheel base are opposite.
it seems the squarer the car, the faster the transition, and the style of driving comes from those aggressive setups.

to me, the longer skyline is slower and more transitional than the 180sx or s13 chassis and even the s14's. which also translate that it may be easier to drift but at that level of competition, it means you need more speed and faster hands and feet to compete... the 240sx would have been a better choice for many others on a same track but not on another. but all said, the reason why the miata doesnt compete in Japanese drifting is not because it cant, but because its too small of a car and the swiftness of the type of judging would put this to a disadvantage... they are looking for pretty and swift cars from a distance.... and a large car drifting with a smaller car will look odd and make the smaller car look less swift in transitions and less angle. same with the mr2, s2000, etc... only in the US its been fashioned so far.

thats just my feelings on the matter, of course i may be wrong.. i ll just keep messing with both the marroon and white skyline and my s-chassis and i ll share...

i also wanna do a full square setup with my 78 corolla...s13 subframes and short corolla wheel base.... see how it drifts on a fast course, any feedback??
