im sorry but that video doesnt look like jay drifting at all, you cant compare drifting a corolla to drifting a 240, in which a 240 requires less feedback and is slower rotating, and ive riden with jay a few times. if u watch jay wheel, its very light feed back and not nearly as fast on the rotation, which is why 240s have always been the more popular car bc of how much more user friendly they are.
its hard for 240 guys to get into a corolla and have a feel for it, you can ask rob, i let him drive my white car once at the old drift spot and he was just like "that was a hand full"
no, your specific car was a handful because it was a piece. ive owned stock GT-S's that have been worn to hell and still been way easier to drive and drift. the second i hopped into my gt-s i was completely happy with it. yeah, 240's are easy, but corollas arent hard either.
as far as the video goes, i dont think we really have the talent in the US. but honestly though, a proper setup corolla would be very easy to switch back and forth like that. those cars are awesome because you can lay into it them so much and just not get yourself in trouble. they're so light, especially when race prepped, that you can snap them back and forth hard due to a lower amount of weight shift involed.
also, that video is edited all over the place, yeah he's doing manji on the straights, but he loses it in the corners. watch, you'll see right before he spins out it cuts, he looses the angle before the end of most corners, etc.
