i know florida sucks i plan on moving out to cali once i finish my tech school in orlando a few years from now or at least to somewhere with mountains. i mean the highest point in florida is 87ft and you have to walk to the top(thats not a building i mean) im 18 and i drive an MR2 but mostly i practice in any corner i can find and since when im not at school or working theres not much else to do so i got corner hunting(very difficult in florida)

Incedentally, lift-off drift is extremely important for us europeans (and other countries) where most cars on sale are Front-Wheel drive. Any FWD with a decent amount of torque and a shortish wheelbase can get something halfway decent going, even if the car does slow down through the drift (although nowhere near as badly as a handbrake or e-brake drift).
Correct me if i'm wrong, but surely the advantage of straight american roads is that there are lots of nice 90 degree bends? ;-P
And, also, i am green with envy- 18 and driving an MR2, when i was 18 i was driving a fiat seicento..... (similar in size to a mini, but nowhere near as powerful)
edit: (and FWD)

MR2? Nice ride. Is it turboed? I smoked some ricer in an blue MR2 a few weeks ago with a huge ole team racing sticker on his windshield....in yellow!?!. If you come out to California I would suggest you drive the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) aka Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz, craziest corners I've seen around here, but nothing compared to the course at ?Irohazaka?. The view of the Pacific Ocean isn't that bad either, if you've got a girlfriend just tell her that you want to visit Hearst Castle, an excellent excuse to check out the course.
Last question for all you car nuts out there...I heard that the motor in the Mazada 3 is made by Ford, not sure, can anyone answer this? Didn't feel like googliing it. Thanks.

Mazda 3 is based on the new Ford Focus chassis and mechanicals. Only th interior and body shell is different.
Hmm a MR2 at 18 - I was driving abngrs at that age, but then I suppose I was also a student. Who knows, by the time I retire (many moons off) I may have gone through the sports car to super cr scene, and on to some thing sedate - eek perhaps not.
