I agree with that, losing my big powerful car I used to have has had its benefits, I haven't had knobheads trting to race me, haven't got anything to prove, run naway from police cars etc! I loved the performance but I still have just as much fun with the 86, i's better to throw around!
I don't know if you ever drifted your Silvia but it's a very diffrent experience. The silvia was a piece of piss to slide, you could use the accelerator to initiate, hold, transition - the works (when it came to simple drifting anyway)
I don't find the 86 as hard to drift as everyone makes it out to be, and I don't mean to sound cocky, I was a bit worried when I bought it, I just figured if I didn't agree with it I'd get my money back but as it happens it's great! There's a lot of technique to learn, fortunately, Mike, Justin, Crash etc all tought me some really useful tips when I bought the car and in all seriousness I wouldn't be where I am now without their help!
It's a bastard to perfect and has it's weak spots where he silvia had the power to pull out of those situations! But overall if you drive it hard and put the effort in, you WILL get the rewards!
