Funny I was just thinking how much many of these drift cars look like hot wheels cars too.

The thing about drifting is it's supposed to be all about style. It's not about who gets the farthest or who has the best time like a conventional motorsport. It's about style. Given that, how the cars are presented should be an important part of the judging and appeal of the motorsport itself. If the car gets more angle and makes more tire smoke because the ride height is wonk and the wheels poke out that's great, but it doesn't negate the fact that it still looks stupid doing so. If we ditch style in favor of sponsorships and more "hooning", what really is the point of it all? Just go out there and do donuts in a new camaro if the purpose now is solely to rile up rednecks.
