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"....
