It likely has to do with the origins (location) of drifting more than anything else. I suppose I can’t fault anyone for trying to stay somewhat pure to the “sport”.

I’m sure it will fetch a good buck by the end of the auction.

I wonder if that car is actually “imported”, or if you won’t be able to get plates for it.

> why do people build drift cars out of the very few RWD imports, mainly just 240’s, when there are a ton of more powerful domestic options that are much better starting platforms for the $? I mean, that’s obviously an exception, but the whole crew that ends up spending 10k to buy and build up a mild 240 just seems like they would be better served doing it to a fox bod or LT/LS1 car…

Von Gitten Jr did very well in the Falken Mustang, taking the 07 Formula D title and Millen did very well in the GTO. Rheys Millen has since gone to a Solstice for Drifting maybe more non Japaneese cars will start to appear in drifting. Yes, I would start out with something that would not cost alot of $$$$$ to get up to 350hp and be expensive as every other poser wants one.

Wrong,

The import guys hate it, because pushrods suck.  
The domestic guys hate it, because they tainted the godly LS1 with an imported shell.
