Just because it was intended for dirt doesn't make it any lesser of a sports vehicle. Even F1 grassroots played in the dirt for awhile.

I don't feel this kind of definition works cause

drift/drag are both sports but I would not consider all the cars that compete in these fields to be sports cars

No for me you have to be able to let the rear break loose abit on command. rear bias AWD wont really allow for that to occur

LOL but I don't think auto company haven't made car just for drift or drag... while dirt/rally there are several company makes it.

I stand to be corrected

The Genesis Coupe was said to be built with the drifter in mind. Even before the car was released they advertised it like it was made for them.

They included drifting as part of, I think and not all Genesis is drift minded.

For a good example, Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Their pure intention for that car is Rally.

If nissan were to release another silvia chassy (S16) i would think it would have marketed for the drifter in mind as well.

Actually, if it's going by the older style cue or like a stretched out 370z look I would go for that too. Hopefully FT86 is so successful that it makes the other companies bring stuff back. Like the Integra and Silvia. man... I'm jealous of the 90's is some way.

Nissan's are great but the best is easily the 240Z back in the Datsun era I'd still love to get one

I love cars as the are I don't really care too much about branding cause a good car is a good car tho I stand loyal to Toyota since it was one of theirs that got me interested

Both built for drag racing and production cars from factory

also I could have said Nascar but even I don't consider that a sport

Nissan made great cars (Damn I love the 240z) how about the R31? my dad used to have one (a LHD R31 coupe, that a very rare one) when I was kid
I plan to buy an R31 or R30 and keep it as a japanese classic

While I do love the R31 as a JDM classic they were never sold in Canada as far as I know so I don't have the memories of drooling over one every time I saw them the 240z however I still drool its just such a classic design

Was the R31/30 sold in NA? as far as I know the only LHD skylines are made for the middle east?
You know, I wish if I had a time machine so I could go back in time (70's or 80's they all were great)

7M swap most likely...no way it would be the 2JZ and only 5k obo. And it has celica supras on it.....hrrmmm, those both kinda take away from the car if you ask me.

Wonder if he still has the original 3M...or was it 4M?
