I know not everyone holds drifting in high regard, but Id still ride along.

Just think how fast it could be if he actually hooked all that HP up to the road!
I don't know, but his entrance speed on a few of those corners would be more than enough to make my butt puckerI wonder if that driving style is faster than the conventional style of racing. Is the drifting all for show, or is there any speed to be gained from it?

There were those two famous s197 owners who compared on the same road course at the same time if drifting or just driving was better. Ultimately, driving, and not drifting came out on top. But afterwards they discussed that drifting has come a long way and actually is very feasible, though not better.I wonder if that driving style is faster than the conventional style of racing. Is the drifting all for show, or is there any speed to be gained from it?

right on, i just see unnecessary wear and tear and alot of time lost in corners he could have carved thru instead of burning up tires trying to look cool.The car being a Fox body makes it slightly less irritating to watch, but it's still figure skating on asphalt as far as I'm concerned.
And to the people who dislike drifting, ever try it? It's a lot of fun to do, like one massive burn out at higher speeds.
IMO, drifting is nearly as dumb as that slanted wheel, or steel plate dragging craze going on in the East. I swear.....some Japanese kid could take a dump on his hood and paint it fluorescent purple and these stupid North American teens would coin it as the next hot thing by the end of the week!
Like... Drifting is a skill, looks like fun to meAnd to the people who dislike drifting, ever try it? It's a lot of fun to do, like one massive burn out at higher speeds.
In reality, if you're road racing and you're pushing your car to its limits, you're going to be doing a certain amount of drifting because you'll eventually pass the limits of grip. If you're only driving to the max capability of grip, you're not going as fast as you could be. Push it too far and hang the back end around every corner and you could be wasting time in those corners, *depending on the corner*. Tell a tarmac rally racer that drifting around 180 degree turns in the course is slower than not drifting and he'll laugh in your face.
And this whole argument about wasting tires....like you guys have never done a burnout

You mistake not giving a crap, with not getting it. I know what's involved in "doing their thing"....I'll just never consider it a real autosport. At best it's a warm up to what you posted above.Some of you guys need to educate yourselves on just exactly how these pro drifters do their thing..
