    Not trying to envoke a bitchfest but you definately don't need a 200-100000hp car to drift! Hell, most D1 drivers admit that in some of their video's. Now a 500hp car (well screw hp), a nice torquey engine with a nice rev limiter and gear ratios help out a ton, especially in the higher numbers (300+hp & TQ). D1 drivers would need a built motor because the cars they perform, practice, compete in get beat on constantly. Also, some of the tracks they drift on call for a high HP/TQ car to get the wheels to spin at the speeds they're going. That's when I think a 140rwhp Celica GTS would be insufficient in drifting but for the quick kicks and S's, you don't need monster power at all.......

    P.s - Yes, he was being an idiot in the vid though! Getting sideways at an intersection is potentially deadly and you could've lost it on that small road where the truck/suv pulled out. I used to do the same stupid shit but hopefully it doesn't take a totalled E36 for you to realize how ghey that is....

    I withdraw my statement a car as light as an 86 Corolla, or old celica gts can drift fine with the proper setup.
