The drifting is spot on... I can just drive round for hours with no real goals in mind, just trying to chain drifts all over the city...
I started with the BRZ, sold that, now in my garage I have:
Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, almost maxed out with performance upgrades
Nissan GT-R only body mods, stock performance
Subaru Impreza STI, minimal body mods (looks like the 1 I'm thinking of buying in RL)
Mazda RX7, with everything almost on max drift settings, it's hard work to even get it to go in a straight line!
1thing I will say about it, it's not very social game, even though you are always online and in with other players... It's like everyone is to busy, you find another player challenge them to races and no response... Only time anyone acknowledges you is when they just come and constantly ram you on purpose...
