I don't think drifting is going to come that hard to me.
I had pretty good hand eye coordination to say the least. I ususally take quickly to anything that takes a lot of body coordination (thanks gymnastics)

I bet an old rx7 is what i would get. super cheap and the old rotaries are tough to kill when they do run

did you ever see the streetfire video of the old rx7? It was ran for well over 5 minutes at about 10K RPM. Bumper on fire, thing sounded like it blew twice, but still ran and ran and ran. was amazing. Might have even been about 10 or 15 mins

If you can go fast into a corner, and have a fast exit speed out of the corner..thats fast..that feeling is a lot more adrenaline then just booking it on a straight line.

I would rather have a car that did that in 20 seconds but did 1.5Gs in a corner than have a 10 second car that couldn't turn at all.

if you want both, get an Enzo or Koenigsegg CCX.

Al Gore FTW is a glorious beacon of light

as far as straight line, something that can do 0-60 in 5 or under. on a road course, something that is nimble and responsive, ie s2k, mx5 miata, others.

Quick- When you're booted off of the drag strip until you get a helmet. (13.99 and under on my strip)

Fast- When you're booted off the drag strip until you get a full rollcage. (11.99 and under)

Very fast- You need a license and 8+ hours of training to drive it. Eg... Uncles pontiac Riley. (Tuttle team racing, if you want to look it up, http://www.theracesite.com/index.cfm..._article=9730)

Well, Echos can run in 10s. In the 0 to 60, that is.

Fast? To me, Fast is like a bunny. Round black bunny with red details on it. And it doesn't want your girlfriend yakkin', which is a pretty neat feature.

Anything that can get over the 120mph limit we have in less than the time it takes us to 0-60 is fast.

Sorry diskreet, I just HAD to comment on these!
