By “being used as intended” I am referring to generally beating on it. Although I would think it should at least be able to do okay, since rwd + V8 power + limited slip diff should make drifting at least possible. I still love the car, I’ve wanted one since I was 13.

However, you are more likely to see me attempting to drift a volvo 740 turbo, since I’ve been keeping an eye on the going prices for those for a future build.
