The D1 series, I'm sure, has politics involved as well (it's just that I don't understand it because I don't speak Japanese), but it SEEMS more pure / raw than the series we experience here in the States. I respect ALL drifters and especially the pros, but sometimes skills aren't enough... they need a competitive ride to do their job... and this is why I am so excited for Ken getting a powerplant that isn't so frustrating and limited.    |
Ken gushis always been a favorite of mine. Grew up in the same area as me, went to highschool with a buddy of mine. Got my buddy into cars when he sat in his ae86 in highschool. It just sucks that his car was so under powered. Hopefully this 2jz will make a difference despite it only adding just 100hp. The 2jz is a dying breed in drifting. Formula d should be considered "american drifting." I mean it still takes skill but it's not as nostalgic as japanese drifting. Cars only having 250-300 hp, rx-7s, 240s, 86, and miatas.
