I will agree, but they do it sooooooo well, I have video evedence to back it up :D
Ok so you want to know what corolla slides best..... ke70 will straight out of the box, coil sprung ass end FTW, then you can cut the springs, get short shocks, adj. Panhard rod, and go for gold on a skid pan, a k series corolla will fail to slide in the dry, unless you spend a shit load of dosh on it. As much as I hate nissans I have to agree with ke70dave here go buy a natro silvia and learn that way SKIDPANS ARE BEST,
Trust me when I say learn to slide the xr6, straight outta the box the pwn any stock rolla ten times over, I have had falcons sliding many a time and the most fun i've had in a car was on track or skidpan,
The reason people are hating is because you have said yourself you would do it on the street where nobody is around, but what you don't realise is there are always people around, be it highway, industrial estate, main road, side road. There are always people floating around SOMEWHERE, and the last thing we want to hear about is you or someone you know being injured from a late night industrial skid sesh gone wrong
I am not one to talk as I have had my industrial estate nights, but as soon as I got on the skid pan I never returned to an industrial estate again
