Proof a GT-R can drift

[QuickNick]

If you are anything like me you love the Nissan GT-R, but, those in the know in Nissan Turbo circles always say that a 'real' driver would always get a GTS-T as they are rear wheel drive and can therefore drift.

This left me wondering; are GT-R's too technologically advanced to drift? I have found my answer.

If you think anything along these thoughts, hopefully you will enjoy this!

I have to disagree here. Yes, RWD is better and easier to drift but 4/awd cars can do it too. Seen Evo's and impreza's drifting too. BUT (and its a biggie) if you look at the competing drift cars, they are all RWD.

There are a couple of drift impreza's though - they've been converted to RWD

I bet for that vid (cool as it was) he'd turned off almost all the driver aids (tcs, esp etc) as they are specifically there to prevent/protect ham-fisted drivers from this sort of occurrence if it happened unexpectedly.

Apparently the GTR is an incredibly easy car to drive fast due to the amount of R&D that went into it with this in mind. Unfortunately not everyone is a racing driver or even a good driver so these aids were designed and added to modern cars to protect people from driving beyond their capabilities.
