That's just silly Matador. Of course Drifting is a "Motorsport." Don't be blind simply because you don't like/hate a certain sport. I understand the racing credibility of rally or touring car program but the tC and the FT-86 don't really fall into either of those categories.
The tC gets to be RWD converted because it uses an AWD chassis for it's platform.
And from my limited experience researching RWD conversions, a midrange DIY conversion is $5k-$10k depending on whether you upgrade parts, get custom fabbing, or contract out any of it. A professional RWD conversion for grassroots is often too expensive and therefore wasteful since you could just start out with a RWD car. Most grassroots motorsports ban or discourage FWD->RWD conversions anyway.
