@DaBoyWhoCriedSheep Funny how the best drifters in the world are Asians.

@NickIsOriginal Because apparently it's better than Trains crashing...So I'm told.

@TheTruthHurtsYup You're correct, I have not watched any WRC, but drifting has it's roots in Japan, on the streets, with Keiichi Tsuchiya's AE86. The "westernized" form of drifting shown in WRC is far from the original roots of drifting. If you search "tanso (単走) drift" in YouTube, you will see a close representation of original drifting, not WRC "drifting." Or enter this into YouTube /watch%3Fv=YzKyKxNR_wE. I am not here to argue with you, in any way

@chsieh27 Lol, you definitely have not watched any WRC, they drift the streets hardcore my friend. Drifting just on the streets does not make you the best drifters in the world. When they can go from street to mud to dirt to a mix of all in one at over 100mph with inches to spare and people standing right on the sidelines let me know. Thanks.

@TheTruthHurtsYup Those are competitive RALLY racers. How would you be able to compare them to drifters on the STREETS? Having lived in Yokohama for over 20 years, I think I know what I'm talking about.

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

@chsieh27 Ummm, no the best drifters in the world are in WRC rally cars and the Champions are not Asians.

@guitarguy2596 It's 20% more fuel efficient compared to other planes with the same size. The inside is re-designed completely to give customers a better experience.

That's about it.

[unscrup123]

cessna is better than that

[smsandel]

@YouthfulSoul87 It's not the size that makes a better aircraft, it's the technology engineering and materials used to make it and the efficiency and technical simplicity with which it operates.

This aircraft is the next generation of airliners. this is a huge leap, under the hood the 787 is the most advanced machine built for commercial aviation yet, no bleed air system is the biggest leap in commercial aviation technology in many decades. not to mention the mostly composite construction.

@guitarguy2596 Its special because its made out of composite and has great fuel mileage so it can go great distances without having to refuel. Besides its not that small, its actually pretty big and lets not all forget, its Boeing so its awesome :D

[Iamfukenripped]

@guitarguy2596 you know what... I dont know lol... all i can think of is that its better looking than the A380 and that its packed with computers and other modern high tech equipment.... I wanna go back to the days of the tristar and 727s :(.

[guitarguy2596]

what so good about this plane? It's by far one of the smaller commercial aircraft, so what does it do that makes it special.
