ill let ya know how the 1200 goes, im entering a drift practice in a few weeks, but from what ive done on the street 1200s are reasnobly good, but woody is right the short wheel base means they spin easy and may be harder to hold a longer drift, but then again i guess they will switch back the other way easier for the connecting corners, i think once you get enough practice in any car it wil be good for it
