If all you care about is grip, why not go get yourself an awd car. They tend to make better lap times than an FR car. (ofcourse, this changes at the GT racing level, but how many of you guys here actually have FR cars pumping out over 500hp racing around a track). Heck, why not just go get the type-R since they have better lap times then the S14s.
The whole point about FR cars/240SX is that it is fun to drive. Why is it fun to drive? because we are able to "drift" through the turns rather than gripping all the way through. Some of you guys also seems to have your own definition for "drifting" but there are many forms of drifting.
For people who have such negative comments about drifting, I'd say that you have never seen a car drift in person, and that you have never tried it yourself. If you have done either one of the two, I'm sure that you won't think it's just a trend.

the reason they dont use awd in gt cars is because its against the rules. no matter how much hp you have your always going to have better control in a awd car. the reason its against the rules is because the cars with awd would have huge advantage over the fr cars and for companies to develope an awd system from scratch is very expensive.
second. the reason ITR posts faster lap times is because of more power (at least with the ka) so you cannot compare the two. also the itr is bread as a track car not like the silvia wich is more of a street car. the sivlia has much softer suspension than the itr
