***COROLLA ROLL CALL***

Regarding the event coming up.

Are any other corollas from the area gonna be driving? It gets lonely out there... surrounded by 240s... scary.

Maybe we can take rides and learn from each other. From my limited experience drifting, the driving tactics that work in other cars can't really be applied to ours. So the best way to learn something is to show up!

So come on AE86 people! How about registering?

that's not true. i've driven corollas, 240s, a lexus and a corvette and they all got sideways pretty much the same way. you just have to take in consideration the weight and power differences and learn how the car reacts to certain techniques.... it's the driver, not the car. a good driver can get in any car and drift it without prior knowledge of it. might take a lap or two but it's all the same physics basically.

I don't know if I agree with that one, and it seems like you're saying that Mark is a newb, and you're a good driver??
Someone who learned how to drift in a car that has low end torque, wider power band, power steering, longer wheel base, who then gets in a car that is under powered, has to keep it in the upper revs, no power steering, shorter wheel base is going to have a hard time, physics major or not.

I know this is going to be argued, I just can't see how you can say that "drift one car, you can drift any car"....

then maybe it just comes natural to me, but it's like riding a bike... once you get off the training wheels you're ready for mountain bikes or bmx bikes or w.e. and in regards to the underpowered theory, the only problem that I had was the no power steering, was practicing in a bone stock 82 base model rx7 no power steering open diff body rollllll... and I use to own a SR5 corolla, teh only laws that changed was doing stuff you cant do with an open diff and no power..like pro-longed high speed drifts. it's just my opinion, but i think it's really true. if you think you have skill, try getting in someone elses car for the first time and doing just as good as if it were your own car and you've been driving it forever. that to me is what makes a good driver, a GOOD DRIVER
