the best sounding drift car by far, look at the set up, and a seq. 5 speed from hks, can you say a well equiped fd?

all that motor for drifting.... /shrug
sometimes I think drifting has become the Led Zeppelin of motorsports..... overly elaborate and bloated. Imma play a guitar solo with a violin bow... Imma do burn outs with a 4 rotor.

i mean don't get me wrong. drifting is a motorsport. it's a skill set unto its own... the problem is when what makes a car/driver good leaves the drifting track and into bumpers, motors, etc.... I understand that aesthetics is a large part of the drifting circuit; however, I strongly caution for it that it takes place outside of the actual run on any aesthetic outside of that driver's run. Drifting must be careful not to turn the sport into some car show.
Great engine but WTF cares?!? Are drifters racing against time, setting speed records?

Also, a lot of the understeer, oversteer concepts and techniques used in drifting are used in rally racing and professional motorsports as well. A lot of the "drifters" in japan are involved in professional motorsports (I.E: Time attacks and the sort) as well. Same in europe and the states.
AcidAngel: Scoot Sports already made a 12A 4 rotor.
PS: This FD is badass, regardless of what the hell it is doing. I will be looking forward to seeing it in November.

+ 1. Legitimate drifters have my respect fully, just as much as road racers and other's involved in motorsports.
With Mad Mike, he's managed to fully represent for Rotaries consistently, and now with this latest effort..I look forward to seeing a lot more of him and a collection of victories under his belt while being ROTARY powered.
