Am I the only one who is disappointed by all the people who use rx7's supreme handling and weight balance for the straight line? The car wasn't really designed for drag. And no, I'm not much of a fan of drifters either, it looks cool and all, but really, if drifting was so much faster and efficient, why wouldn't the indy cars with millions of $ on the line for a race even try it?
Not telling anyone how to drive, it's your car, abuse it however makes you happy, but I just wanted to express my feelings towards rx7 drivers that are hyper focused on thier 1/4 mile.

drifters themselves often analogize drifting and racing to the relationship between figure skating and speed skating.

the only reason civics have a bad rep. is b/c most teenagers get em for there first cars, stick a wal-mart intake and exhaust on em, and call em fast, i have a rx-7 and civic, both turbo toys.. and ill tell u this, my civic is damn fast.. but of course, my rx-7 pulls harder.. =)
