and backto the topic.

the 180 has better handling than the s13, it is lighter and has a 50/50 weight ratio, thats why its one of the best cars to drift with, the only other car that can compare is the s15, in terms of handling and drifting.

if it's 50:50 then it's because it's heavier, coz the front is certainly no lighter, and to balance it out it'd need more weight in the back. (which is usually the case with a hatch rather than a boot layout, because it needs more reinforcing to be rigid)

It's also not really worth comparing the handling of these cars, considering that they are either about 10 years old, with worn suspension, or they have aftermarket gear in em...
it's all a matter of how it's set up, not the original design any more.
A modded S13 Silvia or 180 will greatly out handle a new S15...
