JC:
Cars in Japan are generally very very cheap, due to their laws and such...
The cars are usually about the same body size, and EVO's generally only come in 4 doors, but there are some 2 door models about (As I've seen anyway)
4WD's drift differently, and in some ways, the angle can be considered not drifting, because there are 4 wheels driving the car, not two
Also another thing is, that the Subaru's have Symmetrical AWD, so there's no range of wheels with more power than the other (front/rear). Most other cars normally have more power at the rear than the front, and some cars (R34 GTR), are RWD untill they lose traction, when the car load balances the drive power into all four wheels to maintain traction, and provide a steady propulsion

and Bunta has no life... so he probably has enough money saved.. lol... Anyways... over 100,000 views.. w00t

Not true. The 5 Speed NA USDM versions of the Impreza (and the WRX) are 50/50. The Automatics are 90/10. The Automatic WRX is 45/55, and the STI is 35/65.
The definition of a drift that I know, is when all four wheels are going at a slip angle of around 6 degrees or more. It doesn't matter how many wheels are driving the car, as long as the car is "crabbing" sideways, it's a drift. ;) Tell a rally driver they don't drift. :P

--- Quote ---depends on what he meant by "out brake" ... if it should have been translated as out accelerate, like outbreak.. or as in Bunta is simply better at braking and controlling in the corners.

That line's always bugged me too (I was in the process of moving to Japan at the time and didn't work on eps 7-8). I just asked Eclipse to translate the line again and he said it should be more like "someone I can't catch up to in the corners" rather than "out-brake". Put through the Editor Filter™, with my own translation, it'd be:
"It's no good... I can't beat someone I can't catch up to while braking."
We've seen numerous times that Takumi brakes noticibly later than his opponents due to his driving style. That extra time he spends accelerating (or at least not DEcelerating) gives him a chance to shorten the gap with his opponents who usually have the advantage on straightaways. Against Bunta's WRX, though, Takumi can't even make up the speed difference in the braking part of the cornering process, much less all the other parts. That's just my thought process, anyway.
