Nascar is bull****, formula one cars are insane and it would be insane to try to drift one, SCCA events was where drifting first was exposed in the U.S. an caught on (most nobably auto cross), European drifting has really taken off as well and you do see their track cars at exhibitions drifting. Just because you are preping a car for a different track situation doesn't mean that the car is no longer a drift car if drifting was the goal of the build, and that the car the next day wont be set up again for drifting. This is a very weak argument.
Negative, drifting does not get you around corners faster. It's more of a style. Please dont bring drifting in as a form of racing, it's not. You dont need ungodly power to drift, I can take my beater crx convert it into rwd and drift with that b1tch if i wanted to.

Actually, if you suffer from UNDERSTEER, as justin points out, no need to convert to RWD right?

RB20 - 476.8lbs YoMani (or something like that, he's on nico) weighed it himself
RB25DET - 720lbs - sport compact car magazine Sept 2003
RB26 unknown to me but estimates range from 550-700lbs from what I just read, I GUARANTEE it is a sh!tload heavier than these weights:
VQ35 long block including intake manifold, no accessories - 313lbs weighed on a recently calibrated auditing scale with supposedly accurate to within +/- 0.5lbs

Here's my technical information. Where's yours?

In addition, the RB26DETT is twice as long as a VQ35, making weight dist that much harder. The LS2 is only 1 cylinder longer than VQ and has smaller heads. Putting more of it's total weight lower in the chassis.

Stock VQ35 is about 313lbs. Stock LS2 400lbs. RB26DETT anywhere from 550-700lbs! You gotta assume it's close to the rb25det as the rb26 is slighly larger.

I would think if we are talking 700+lbs, you would be better served to just assume it includes everything. As it would only make your case look even worse. LOL
I don't know justin, do you really think a Magnuson SC is going to weigh 300lbs?? LOL. (you completely crack me up sometimes) Plus it looks like when you put this on, it replaces the existing intake manifold. So the total weight is the SC - the intake.

Initial D is really how drifting was started in the U.S. and how people here really learned the first things about how to drift, so even though it may be stupid and hokey, you can't really discount all of it's impact. the fast and furiouses IMHO really did more harm then good.
