Umm dragonitti, I have a few questions. There are a number of scions in FD. Now, lets compare it to grassroots drifting for a second. How much money would it cost me to convert a scion to rwd so I can drift it? What's the advantage above, say, a genesis 2.0t, in terms of converting a car's drivetrain to drift instead of just buying a rwd car? How come scion is just about the only FWD -> RWD converted car in FD? Is it because after you dumped thousands upon thousands of dollars into it, it can keep up with the competition? But then why buy it to drift it in the first place? Why doesnt Fredric Aasbo keep the Supra he drove over the new tube chassis scion he's getting built? After all, wouldnt that be cheaper and easier to maintain during the season? Are you honestly going to quote me and tell me that converting a drivetrain and dumping tons of cash into a FWD car designed for cool kids is better than a tried and proven platform?
(btw, I may come off aggressive, but don't take it the wrong way; I find you one of the more respectable members of this site, battling people like me on a daily basis lol)
The new FD rules need to be stricter. No drivetrain conversions, PERIOD. Keep it simple. Maybe then scion will introduce a car you can actually drift, like they do on TV =) That and the Minami course of Ebisu should be featured.

Put it this way, a scion badge equates to a new scion version of the concept, which equates to everything scion currently is putting in their lineup, in our precious FT86. AKA Fuel economy over performance, boxy design cues, and sporty over sport. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Just to show you what kind of crowd buy scions, check out their forums. There one thread, with almost 1 page, about the FT86 II. That's it. They're really excited about this car -_- I read a post from someone who says that he doesnt like the idea of a RWD, his girlfriend drives his car in the winter . . . *facepalm*
