Just built a proper sports car, toyota. Otherwise I'm going to buy a Hyundai coupe.]]>Apr 8th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 8:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Yeah, back in the '90s (it went out of production in '99). Back then, Toyota actually made sporty cars.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
they also stopped rallying in '99 :)]]>Apr 8th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 11:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
i thought the rules stated it had to be factory RWD, a car that can be purchased by the public...]]>Apr 8th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
I also wouldn't be surprised if Toyota is using this opportunity to gauge public reaction for something they plan on doing in the near future; obviously a RWD small, affordable coupe, similar to Hyundai's Genesis.]]>Apr 9th 2008 6:42AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
The Rules:
Eligible Vehicles:
A) Any 2 or 4 door coupe, sedan or sports car.
B) Must be a production car with a minimum build run of 250 units
C) Must maintain original unibody or frame
D) Vehicles that do not meet the above criteria must be approved by the series.

I interpret rule "D" to mean, "Pay us off and you can run what you want."

Pathetic really.]]>Apr 9th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 11:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/

It would be nice if they make their Project IS-F into a drift car - LOL.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
It's really sad that anyone watches drifting. How do you win? Are there judges like figure skating?]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/Apr 8th 2008 8:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/08/rwd-scion-tc-coming-to-formula-drift/
