No .. not really.
I dont expect people on a Camaro Forum to have a great respect for people who can drift, but it takes a TON of control.
I know we have all seen this video, but all it really is is an impressive display of drifting.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
