Team Bergenholtz (of Honda/Mazda racing fame)...stepping into the realm of drifting.

Looks like they resurrected the retired A'Pexi drift RX-7...

WTF are you talking about?

They are still making the Power FC. We can't buy the parts such as the Apexi Pro coilovers anymore but we got the el-cheapo special EXV's.

the car looks very plain for a drift car, not to mention the paint scheme looks straight out of 1986. A big part of drifting is having a crazy car and putting on a show, and i think this car fails at that.

The paint scheme is old, it ws done on purpose. Look up who Bergenholtz is, it's a classic paint scheme.

Unfortunately, yes, that is where drifting went.... Oh, how i wish it was more of a racing thing, and the winner was decied by distance, or place and there wre NO points/ they would use real tracks as the course, and not stuff like irwindale, etc.

Also, to those saying it's ugly, you guys are immature. It's been said a couple of times already that it's the team's color scheme. Dunno if you noticed, but the mazda 6 is sporting the same skin.
