280ZX Should Drift

Reading those original road test reports that JH has kindly put up reminded me of the rear suspension characteristics of the S130. How you can drive round corners using the accelerator to step and hold the back out. Providing you are not a tightarse and have kept the suspension in good condition

So I reckon it would not be too hard to set a S130 up to drift quite well. Not that I'm interested in doing it but...........

I'll try it once it's up and running, it rains a lot in FL.
