the 86 was originally designed for grip which is why it has such a close to 50/50 weight balance. but the 50/50wb was the same reason that it was considered a good drift car. even to this day it is considered awsome in drift AND grip. don't be so closed minded, guys.

The 86 is a horrible car to drift with, it was built for Grip and that is why it has a 50/50 balance(with a full tank of gas :lol: ). You have to really know about weight transition to drift it well. Once you figure weight transition out then the car becomes and awsome drifter.


BTW Taka from Club4ag took FOERST in FSP SCCA nationals GRIPPING. i think that was 2002 or something...
