Having been to Formula Drift for at least 8 years now I can tell you that there is a HUGE difference between the 300-500hp cars they all started with to todays +1000hp beasts. Even when the 600-700hp monsters go up against something with +1000hp you can without a doubt tell the difference. The cars with more power catch up to the lead cars so much quicker while still maintaining their angle. I was asking myself the same question before I saw it in action. hah
