I dont think saffs are snappy in a way that cant be sorted, no car is unless maybe they got a rear engine or summat, its all in the suspension setup, the geometry.

I dont see a reason why saffs cant drift brilliantly with the right setup, relatively light and the weight in similar place to most RWDs.
Tho heard they havent got much steering lock compared to some cars, tho i think youl have to be drifting at some serious angles before that becomes an issue!

I think people get the idea that SXs are good drifters compared to other RWDs becuase they common drifters, i dont think that the case at all. They common as they the obvious choise where drifting is most popular, japan, and the trend just spreads.
If Cosworths were a mass produced car in the Japanese market im damn sure the tuned car world would be VERY different than how it is now.

Alsways liked the idea of a saff drifter, or a 3door, well actually a cossie kitted estate would look pretty cool too, a P100 pickup would be spot on but i understand they weigh upwards of 1400kg...
