Style and control. It's a pretty good combination. I mean, it's not easy to drift, you know? Just like it's not easy to be an F1 driver.

i thought the rotary tech article was kinda shitty, the format it was written in was in my opinion kinda messy. i dunno the info that was given by some resources were kinda iffy in my mind as well. i mean this is the second edition of the series and they are talking about which kind of rotors to use?? the majority was about the rotors and the apex seals, but they don't mention all of the other seals and how the **** they work... anyway the pictures they had didn't correspond to the writing and i found couple typos as well... oh well,
i guess i'm getting too picky,,,

ya that was a cool issue. the apex seals were mesioned alot. that helped me clear some questions up. drifting is cool and hard to do. i would like to see it in person some day. the skyline block is strong juss like the supra block is. its the pistons that can go. although the mkIV pistons are pretty strong

Actually, stock block GT-R's arent all that strong. They warp under high HP loads. It might be making that much power, but for how long?

Haha. I think it's because they put down such high HP numbers...dyno queens, I guess. And probably because they're so hard to get (afford).
