The question was how many with V8's. What are you even talking about anymore. Sounds like you are trying to find all reasons to poke holes into something when you have clear cut answers, so now you are trying to alter your questions down to being "nit-picky" to make some kind of point....which I'm not even clear what point you are trying to state. Keep talking about what Scion is doing...yet EVERYONE does this. Maybe I should ask you this then..."What is your definition of a frankenstein build?". Is a Nissan 350z Vert with a Titan V8 swap considered Frankenstein? How about a 240sx with a V8 in it? I already know the answer before you even answer it.
LOL...PTuning moderately tuned tC? If 600+whp is considered moderately tuned....I guess I should aspire to be moderately tuned someday.

Considering the stock car is not capable of drifting even in the tiniest bit, its astonishing that its everywhere in the drifting world. Its no wonder they're getting so much hate from grassroots drifters. BTW fun fact: did you know the first US drift champ drifted a FWD civic?

So? Who cares if the stock car has to be modified more extensive than most enthusiast are willing to go to drift with it. That again...ONE aspect of Motorsports that they compete in. Stop short changing all the others just so you can pick on one section. Can a showroom stock Scion pull a sub 1:00 lap time on my road course? This is Motorsports...cars are modded to perform in said event. What motorsports do you know of that cars compete 100% like they came from the factory? Come on man, seriously...be real here and stop trying to nit and pick talking points that apply to one specific situation, when there are multiple examples.

As mentioned....that's not NEW News. It's done by ALL PRO DRIVING Motorsports. Sorry you can't exactly program GREED out of people.
I'm a bit exhausted on this subject now. All you keep doing is trying to "one-up" me on something that all the Auto manufactures/Teams involved, do. So, it's whatever you want to think. I've answered you. Some how you got this idea that I managed to dodge a question when I clearly answered you.
