I saw this article on Autoblog and it had this video of the new Focus RS, and I thought it was amazing! It looks like they design a drift car that's comfortable enough to ride around the city when you don't want all out drift.

To me the Focus is like the Dodge Neon, it's more of a typical compact economy car and then they put a nice motor and a wing on it. Whereas the Celica for example is a sports car from the chasis up, the geometry and aerodynamics make it bad ass even with a small motor.
My experience in engineering school has given me new insight to the American car problem. Most of the kids in this program are doing well not because they are smarter but because their parents have enough money that they dont need to work while they're in school, which is a Huge advantage because this program is every bit of 60-80 hours of work a week. And if you're a regular guy who needs to work while in school you are at a serious disadvantage and that is why so many people don't make it, not because they arent smart enough. And so many of the engineers who come out of the system and go on to work for American auto makers are rich kids who've had everything handed to them their whole life and just aren't really as smart as they think they are. They don't have that problem in Germany or Japan. For example, if some of you remember I told you that the kids on the Baja SAE team laughed at me when I suggested that they change the oil, they thought that was the stupidest thing they'd ever heard. One of them went to work for Peterbilt, the another moved to Detroit and went to work for Ford... I would however take a GT40, if you gave it to me. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
