None or all of the above. Im intrested in a relaibale low cost car that has decent power and handles good (sliding is nut's imho) but also has a little bling to it. So Eventually it will have some lightweight 15's a cold air intake and maybe hiflo pipe. possible a hotchkiss swaybar kit. some window tint and thats it. no lowering, no 19's, no gutting the car, no turbos ect.

Could you imagine.. the next world drift challenge.. the BOXX hangin' 10 alongside two 240SX's in superbly controlleed oversteer -- NOT! Well, maybe NEGDOG ( funny, I haven't heard anything from him lately) could pull this off - 'cause he already has "torquesteer"!!

The dynamics for trying to make this a driftcar are about as hard as making a SUPRA TT a grocerygetter.. It would be cheaper to get an '89 240 or supra and mod it-- 6Grand topps.. voila! instant guardrail meat! Dont forget 30 bucks for the "messy hairdo" ALL true drifters must possess!

As for me, I gotta go with tha BLING!! :D
I just saw on PIMP My Ride (rice my hoopty) a LAVA lamp in the back of one of their rides.. I GOTTA do that with the HOTTBOXX!! just GOTTA! We all know drifting is hard, but PIMPIN' AIN't EASY neither!
