ive said it before, i dont think drift is a sport. it is a competition... "few skilled americans" my ass.

that being said. its good that a pushrod V8 will be competing against stupid cars, and even if he doesnt "win" then his engine noise will win over their hearts, and performance oriented peeps.

i seriously dont think the rear wing is nessesary in the least

actually i believed he chopped the top to get less weight over the rear wheels. but it is nice to see/hear a V8 over all the other cars.
