Unless it's done in a LARGE vacant space, yes, it definately is.

The rs4 was able to drift (although being an awd) but it wasn't has pretty as the rwd m3. Regardless awd can drift. But then again, it WAS the rs4...

That would be Fifth Gear, with Tiff Needell in the RS4 and Jason Plato in the M3 CS. Tiff was getting 95º drifts with the RS4, but he almost always shot towards the middle of the corner and off the track for a brief moment.

And sex was only meant in the vagina

Thats the beauty of drifting- you have to be in control while you loose control- so you don't do 50 spinouts before meeting your doom. The whole point of drifting is that- cars aren't made to drift- even drift cars are tuned to have good traction. you need to break traction- a drift tuned car will break traction easier- but it still needs to be tuned to stick to the ground. It's a beautiful sport= I just hope this movie doesn't you know..... F it up

lol, they just used the term "the fast and the furious" on Modern Marvels on the History Channel

Subject Gasoline. Quote: "Gasoline fuels the world, and not just for the fast and the furious" (or something closely to that effect

)

So now drifting = stick it in #2? Great analogy.

I was really excited about learning to drift when I get my car in a few months, then I realized, how the hell can I pay for several sets of tires a day most of the time, I can't so I guess I will have to wait till it ices or snows, or just rains, and go slide around in the lots and pretend I can drift where it won't completely kill my tires.

that movie also made me want to move to Japan because the city is so much more exciting looking that plain old texas. maybe I should learn japanese and go to college in japan. that would be fun stuff.

The only reason that they were able to drift with the EVO in the movie was because they converted it to rear wheel drive.
If I had the chance, I would also like to visit Japan someday.

Yup... Though I dunno why they converted the skyline in FnF2 to rear wheel drive only too... stupid hollywood...

Was it just me, or did the "used" Skyline that Paul Walker bought in that mini-movie not have the GT-R emblem? True, it looked very beat up, but chances are, it wasn't a GT-R.

The actual car is a C-West modified Skyline. I don't know about the RWD conversion though... what I DO know is that the RB26-powered Mustang in Tokyo Drift was faster than the Cleveland V8-powered ones that the crew used for drifting. Hot Rod magazine was clearly embarassed about this, and said that it would be a shame if anyone put Nissan engines in their Mustang.

i dont think mitsu has as big of a stake in tokyo drift movie as nissan does. theres one Evo, and pretty much every other car was a nissan. the silvia, skyline that Hon did donuts around, RB26 in the mustang, and just about every other car was a Nissan Z.
