Scion going sideways? Lets drift!

Well, I love my Scion, and I love drifting, but lets face it, they do NOT go hand in hand.

I am ready to petition the higher ups: I WANT TO DRIFT! AND I WANT TO DRIFT A SCION!

Does anyone else out there agree?

Post up!

im sure it wont be too long till someone does a RWD conversion to drift around... i think there is at least one drag tc that is RWD... so it is possible..

I don't get this thread. You want to drift, OR you want a Scion. It's one or the other.

Exactly. Drifting isn't a sport, it is a campaign to get kids to burn up their tires. I would much rather go faster by keeping traction. Yes, I know you Initial D fans will say that sometimes, it is quicker to "drift" around corners, but for the vast majority of the time, it is much quicker to hold traction through turns.

Its like Hallmark for tires...

But lets face it...drifting IS fun. Though I prefer a faster time over fun. Plus my only rear wheel drive car isn't really a torque monster.

Oh yea, I have two RX-7's. Very light weight and RWD means I can spin the rear wheels when I want to, but I don't go drifting every corner. Yes, it is fun to slide every once in a while, but I want my tires to last.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to have your cake and eat it too...I want a Scion that can drift. Just love the idea. Besides, I have always wanted a RWD car, not just for drifting.
