Why do people keep banging on about the AE86?

Some of you may be asking yourself this question.

It is a bit odd to think that given the cheap available power at hand with cars like the 200SX and older Skylines, that people still favour the old Corolla/Sprinter Trueno/Levin for some reason.

Why? well, check this video and you'll see why! This still remains one of the most sideways and well balanced drifting cars money can buy.

I found this picture on Flickr which shows a few of the most popular drift cars.

From left to right, S13, 350Z, S14 another S13 and a BMW on the end.

The first S13 seems to have a rather major battle scar!
