You know its not really worth it to swap the renesis engine. The engine is too much money. For alot less money you could have a turbo engine with douple the power the renesis puts out TO THE WHEEL!!!!

I'm not a big fan of turbos for drifting. No, I'm not considering doing it. That engine has to cost a small fortune. I just figured somewhere out there, someone has too much money and might've done it.

I think turbos are awesome for drifting, they enable the car to have the low range torque in order to spin the tires that it normaly wouldnt have. but I guess if you have a high HP N/A engine then It wouldnt matter.

I'm just more comfortable w/ NA. Mainly b/c I've never drifted a turbo car. It seems like the sudden onset of power would be difficult to control.

Its a lil differnt than n/a since its not making straight line power like the n/a. But if you actually try it a couple times you realizes its alot easier than an n/a car.

Well lemme borrow your car to test it! I promise I won't ram it into anything.

Speaking of cars... Shaggy, is that your car in your avatar?
