Falken Drift Showoff... Houston Texas...

[NonStopTuning]

Long story short, we went out to compete at the Falken Drift Showoff of Houston last weekend. We had problems with the NST S13 so we borrowed an AUTOMATIC turbocharged IS300 from a friend and thought we'd give it a shot. 28 teams, 8 hours, 1 awesome weekend.

Official car having problems:
Borrowed AUTOtragic:
Finishing in FIRST place: PRICELESS!!!

Enjoy...

Drift racing is stupid, I just guess i'm old school and don't associate japanese cars and performance.

Here is a link to a car that has REAL performance, and will be putting the order in for mine before sept.

fine, you can call "drift racing" stupid, but i find your statement of "Japanese cars and performance" ignorant. have you ever seen the Mine's R34 GT-R? if you don't think that car has "REAL performance", then you have to be completely stupid.

If your into performance whyd you purchase a Yaris? Oops I see you have a sedan that explains it.

However, nothing says performance like a rekindled exact copy of a 1960's crap handling, bloated, watered down 'hemi', made by a company that is in the red and is close to dissolving.

And I guess you also love the mustang eh?

Drift racing is stupid

An insensitive comment at best. I wonder if he's been to a drift event? There is quite a bit of skill and finesse involved, at least as much as is required to do this:

'oh, another left turn....
'oh, another left turn....
'oh, another left turn....
'oh, another left turn....

Drift racing is pretty stupid actually. Quite interesting that Ford, Chevy, and Dodge have all thrown a few factory backed cars into Formula Drift over the past few seasons. FD = US Pro Drift Series.

The shittiest drift car I've ever seen was sexier than that Starskymobile you posted up. You gonna slam some Styx when you drive off the lot Mr. Roboto?
