Car vs bike drifting

The corvette V8 transplant in America is very popular, there are ready made kits to fit it to a wide variety of cars. You'll still drift fine in a 400hp 13b RX7. I'd say it's more to do with personal choice rather than any mechanical advantage. And have you ridden an IL4 1000cc bike? No lack of torque spread there.

Can it be done?

You mean these shots?.. Nah, I'm pretty sure that can't be done.

Enjoy.

Well, there are a number of ways to do it - you could just take find the point in the video you want and take a screenshot (hit the "Prt Scr" button and then open an image editing application or MS Paint and press ctrl-c, then save the image), or you can download the video off youtube (there are various firefox extensions that enable this sort of thing), and then most video applications will have the ability to save a screengrab.

It's ok, it's only an R33 and it's not a GTR.

Nice tidy example there Tony. I just prefer the 32 over the 33.

Car was much nicer, leave drifting to them
