Check out our IS350 Drift car driven by Hiro Sumida.

There is specs and video on our motorsport website:

I had a chance to see a Formula D drift even in NJ this year and I was pretty impressed. These cars are pushing some major power. If you get a chance go to a Formula D race, The pits are in the vendor area so you can get up and close to the cars and drivers, and there is plenty to see. This year should be bigger and better than last year, and with a year under his belt Hiro should do well in the IS350 in 2008.

does it still use the clutchless manual transmission, or did they do some sort of transmission swap?

I wasn't sure so I asked and was told it has a custom built 4-Speed Nascar transmission in it. Not quite stock I'd say. :)
