This was posted elsewhere, but deserves a repete here:

start with the second video, "Mustang Drift: The Roots" and turn up your sound system.

Pay no attention to Ratty. He gets his shorts all knotted sometimes.

Great to see you all having fun!

Hi - from aust.

funny i was doing a search for hand controls & found this discussion.
i have been deciding on what car to buy to best allow me to control it for a multitude of disiplines.

i wish to do track days (circuit racing) plus drifting. luclily i retained my licence back without need for hand controls (L2) however i find it very hard to drive a manual especially with G forces that throw my legs from side to side.
my 1st preference was Jap, so cheap here & parts & R&D are plentiful. only prob was getting one with a sequential box as Auto just doesnt make the cut if u r serous.
i have come to the conclusion of searching for either a E36 or E46 M3, 245Kw in Aust. its not enough grunt to drift however a simple add on supercharger will lift it to 300 + without to much cost.
do u know of anything that has a SMG box without spending a mint?
the SMG M3 box is good for 400-500 Nm torgue (apparently) - sorry in Aust we are up with the times & talk metric, US will chatch up 1 day ....lol.
i will keep u posted on my development.

Cheers

Aust? your post reads like an Aussi post but with no mention of HSV or Clubbie I guess you must be in Austria. lol

Look forward hearing what you end up with
