I read the article about that car in Hotrod. I like the way they put some off the shelf GM performance heads, LS6 cam, headers and tune and it puts down 470rwhp.... These engines rock!

I know, are those numbers right?!?

People up here in the car section drop a lot more into their cars for 400rwhp.

Love the car, BTW...

I like the dryer duct intake hose.

I'm looking to replace my stock unit. If a 470rwhp car can use that, why can't I?

I guess I just don't understand the whole new "drifting" thing. Heck I do it almost every damn day during the winter here and it's not by choice.

I can see the appeal. It takes some tremendous driving ability to do a controlled drift. Just look at the first video on this site of the Supra; the video of the Mazda RX-7 and Nissan Silvia S15 are interesting as well:
