You hit the nail right on the head dude! Most guys building drift cars just for status. I understand why some might think grip is gay, but your right when you say that “doing donuts in a parking lot” isn’t drifting. What’s gay is guys trying to drift on public streets when they don’t have the balls to drift at a local event. Saying grip is gay is just plain ignorant cause you can put down good lap times at a lapping day, don’t diss grip! I think drag racing is gay! But that’s only when your watching local cars doing 13’s, 14’s & 15 second quarter mile times. When you go a domestic NHRA event and you see 'Top Fuelers" doing 4 sec quarter miles at over 300mph, then you say “Holy Fuck”, that’s insane! Here is my list of gay! - FF drifting - drag racing - drifting on public roads (with no regard for other traffic) - building a drift car with a bunch of JDM show pieces and never entering a local drift event!!! ---

Yeeeeee. I think all motorsports are fun. Have not had much personal experience with either. But both are fun. I liek going fast and trying to maintain grip. And I enjoy when you lose the rear and slide. But having gone to many many amatuer drift events, I get bored very fast as a spectator and a passenger. Driving it would be alot of fun I’m sure. However, the same could be said about grip/lapping days. It’s obviously no fun to watch frm the sides, but get in a car, whether pass or driver (obviously more fun to be had as a driver) and you will most likely enjoy that rush of speed and adrenaline just the same as whipping out the rear end and countersteering. I don’t really see a huge difference. It’s more about personal taste, as previously mentioned by others. But I don’t see why some of you are ACTUALLY argueing. This thread is a joke. Whoever takes this crap to heart needs a reality check. Sorry to say it. My opinion. SUCK IT! ---
