just wanted to check and see if anyone here knew why people rather drift the Cressida over the MKIII Supra? I think that the cressida 89' and over came with a 7M engine and weighs about the same as a supra right?

Thanks,

Ett.

I drove a few, and they seemed like a great car to drift.

Poodles wow are you sure I thought it was a little worse than that, not bad but just a smidge worse. My chart is at home so I cant check, what are the front and rear weights? I remember the rear end was a little heavier.

supra are soemthing like 49/51 or 48/52, they're not that bad...

cressidas are lighter IIRC....

Everything I can find says 48% rear, 52% front, which is pretty damn good.

Get the battery in the back and somehow lighten up the front a little and I think you'd be pretty close to 50/50.

yep, and people think our cars can't handle :3d_frown:

Turn radius does suck on our cars, my old toyota truck had a smaller one. Ihad to become a master of the 3 point turn overnight (or hit the gas and have it rotate in place)
