Umm.. you say that's how it should be in the US although that's pretty impossible considering the R33, Soarer, late model MR-2, 180SX, Silvia, Gloria and Chaser are not available in this country.

Most US citizens have never even heard of half those cars. A more realistic comparison would be Supra vs. 300ZX, NA sw20 MR-2 vs. s13 240SX, etc. I think a Supra would beat a 300ZX and I know an MR-2 will kill a 240SX as far as that goes.

As for what you said, I don't know which is faster but I like the looks of the R33 over the Supra's and the Z's over the Soarer's but I have no idea how they match up in any form of racing because I've never driven any of them.

For Silvia/180SX vs. MR-2.. assuming both are NA, the MR-2 will kill either using a normal racing technique. With drift from what I've learned driving an MR-2 it's a bit more difficult than a 240SX or other typical FR set up. You're forced to be a lot more graceful (most drifters are anyway though so it'll look good) and it requires a lot less input to get results making things tricky. I'd say the MR-2 is better for drift because I think it personally takes more skill but honestly when it comes to drifting the car makes no difference, it's all about the driver. For drag racing, I don't really care who'd win.

And yes, I completely ignored the "fully modified" bit. That's ridiculous, whoever spends more money wins. There's no such thing as "fully modified".
