I am very shortly going to look at a nissan 200sx (S13) 1.8 Turbo with a view to buy. The mileage and condition are all perfect but it is an automatic.
Just wonder if I should reconsider this purchase if I want to use the Nissan for power sliding and drifting. Having owned a manual Opel Manta for many years and enjoying powersliding on roundabouts with good control over the revs, will I still be able to do this with an automatic kickdown?
My fear is that as I approach a corner, rather than drop a gear and power on for a slide, I'll hit the pedal to kick down and have too much revs that I can't control and go spinning round on my *Censored**Censored**Censored*!!
Any advice (before I maybe buy it tommorow afternoon) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
