from what ive heard (w/o reading the link) is that you have to go reaaallly fast.

u can drift in a mr2 any car thats rear wheel drive can, but there not easy to control when drifting. any car that has the engine close to the back (MR) is hard the control when the cars oversteering. it can be done but its essayer with a FR like a rx7 or a silvia.

Beats having an FF though.

man u can drift in first gear if u want. All u need 2 do is flick the steering wheel to shift the weight of the car and that with get the car side way, and from then u just power side it thought the corner. u dont need speed 2 drift 60kph is enough 2 drift

I'm no pro, but I don't have any problem kicking the ass end out and sliding around a turn- of course, not in the extreme I just saw on your web site.very cool

Once again jekyl, you have amazed me with your knowledge. Was that you on those videos, or just some clips of 2's? I figured as long as i know the car and its balance i will b able to use my skills to outdrift my friends. Thanks all again.

That was not me or my car in those videos.

I was just some "instructional material" I found online
