since I dont know? Pretty cocky there, guy.
I was pointing out a difference in style. Have ANY of those other drifters done ANYTHING CLOSE to what Keiichi has in the world of racing? Like... say... won Le Mans?
Its a little more obvious where Keiichi's skills and passions lie- he's obviously not as showy as a lot of the other guys, but he IS Faster, smoother, and in most people's opinion, more skilled.
Where Nomuken will mash his throttle as early as possible to turn his tires into a towering inferno, Keiichi will maintain half or 3/4 throttle, lighting up a little, but definitely maintainging a better, faster drift. His Feints are lighter, quicker, better controlled, and generally he is simply more precise than almost any other drifter on the circuit.
Gee... where would these talents have REALLY come in handy? On a race track, maybe? Where he got his START and has BEEN since the mid 70's?
All of the other drifters who race professionally havent been doing so for as long as Keiichi. They hopped into drifting almost as soon as they came off the Touge. They are MASSIVELY skilled, but the skills they have come from a different life and career.
And Yes, I do know that Keiichi was a Touge racer before he raced professionally. Did YOU know that the "drifting" thing on the touge has only RECENTLY become a big thing? Only in the last 20 years has it become something stylish to do on the touge.
Stop makign assumptions, Trim your ego a little bit, or shut the **** up.
