It seems like nothing more than burning up tire rubber. I really enjoy seeing a good driver take on a road course, but drifting just doesn't do it for me.

IMO FWD isn't a great platform for performance cars anyway, if they need to be outstanding in handling - they're all just that bit more nose-heavy. The difference may not show up until you hit 9/10ths, but it's there.

I used to much prefer to drive an FWD car for AutoX...........but now I own a Z4 with traction control. I guess I'm confused or starting to show my age  |

There's much craftiness among us folks with a few decades of experience in that sport.
