So from a drivers perspective, I imagine you would debate that the smoke isn't all that bad if your where you should be - on their a**? And that the introduction of V8's really only took away the stress of ringing out a 4cylinder and no real advantage is had besides maybe diggin out of a tight corner? If so, that does change my "advantage seeking" theory I had.

LOL i've been good bro just been working a lot at the office.
Yea from a Drivers perspective i dont think the smoke would be a problem as long as you take the right line. The line is a key factor is drifting and im afraid not many people understand it. The introduction of the V8s i understand why it may look like a USA corp take over but its really not. In japan they use the JDM motor platform, in the Euro comps you are seeing more and more german motor platforms (the falken E36 was a bmw V8 and won JDM allstars a while back), in Australia they have been using the V8 before us, and ofcourse here in the US we are seeing the movement happen.
I have used both a Sr20det and a Ka24det and all though i love using these platforms i saw it was more beneficial to switch to the V8 because of lower cost in parts and fast availability (IT WAS SIMPLY COST EFFECTIVE). Availability in the sense that at the track i will be able to find parts i need way faster and brand NEW compared to the other enegines i used in the past. Also yes the stress of clutch kicking is reduced a lot because we have the TQ to help us out. I am not to happy with the sound of a V8 but thats a small inconvenience.
The inline 6 engine are awesome but we once again end up with replacement issues. Done have much to say on these cuz i only drifted a rb25 but the 1JZs were something that i thought about until i found a killer deal with a V8.
^Ok now this only applys i think to people that beat the **** out of thier TRACK only cars. but dont get me WRONG i have seen some KAs and SR20s last forever but eventually as with all engines somethng breaks.
I get credit to 2 local bros that dont use V8s but still kill it and are really good.
Matt Walden- VQ boosted (import intelligence)
Nick Dalessio- 1JZ ( Elite JDm)
Styles-
I believe every part of the world has thier on style USA, UK, JP, NZ, AU, RU, IR, DR..i respect all of them and i enjoy seeing a change up every now and then.
