How much difference is it between a turbo car and a na car? I dirft a na car and my friend has a turbo car. He says that he just cant just clutch kick into the corner like me. Why is that?

Lack of skill on his behalf? I can clutch-kick just fine as can people who make a ton of power. I just prefer not to but I've done it to help save a sloppy entry.
The main difference I can think of would be the difference in power. NA drifting, especially on the smaller engines, tends to be a lot of full throttle and full commitment whereas turbo'd cars tend to have more power, they usually require more throttle modulation. Don't quote me on that, that's just what I would think the main difference is.
For instance, if you have a turbo FC and a non-turbo FC, the person who enters the sweeper with the turbo is going to most likely go in, get the car sideways and start working the throttle to maintain the drift. They don't want too much wheelspin or too little (as in almost all cases) so they have to keep it in a certain range. The NA drifter is going to go into the sweeper, get the car sideways just the same but in order to maintain the power to keep the wheels spinning, he's going to need more throttle. Given both drifters are in similar cars on the same turn.
That's all I can think of, if he's saying he can't clutch kick, he may not be at a level where he's good enough to catch the car as it snaps out. Dave Jones clutch kicks his 300hp beast as does Vauhn Gitten, it's not the car or the power, it's the driver.
