The SR20 was in the Sentra SE-R and Infinity G20.

Is there an Sentra SE-R or Infinity G20 in Formula Drift?

What does that have to do with your incorrect statement that in the US, an SR20 never came in any model.

It has everything to do with my statement if you went back and read the original start of that topic.



*edit*...here let me help you out:

All others have engine swaps. (Talking about Formula Drift cars here) I mean if you speak on US only spec. Some could argue that the SR20 came in the JDM spec S chassis, as there is one S chassis with an SR20 in it (but only because his 2jz S chassis had mechanically problems).

Yep......Still talking about Formula Drift cars here



In Summary.....Of All the Japanese cars in Formula Drift, there is only one car sold in the US, still rocking it's OEM engine. All of the other Japanese cars have engine swaps. The V8 American cars (Camaro, Mustangs), I am not certain if they have a swap of another V8 or just a steroid version of their OEM engines.

If you are talking about the motor swap topic, you will find that I was the one who started it and my restriction was from the same manufacturer. That means an a motor from a Jeep can be dumped into a Dodge, or a Lincoln motor dropped into a Ford. I would go so far as to say in-house performance brands count too like the Mopar Motors such as the 7.4L Hemi being dumped into a Chrysler product.

Yea, they actually get points for that also. Separate points that don't go toward the championship, but points for keeping with the same manufacture. But I think it's a tad bit more stricter qualifications to meet the whole "motor from same house" points.

Even though it's not ideal, a motor swap is absolutely necessary if you want to compete at Formula D now. The rate that you'd get separated by will keep one from ever winning that thing without it.
