He got into formula D with a bad ass car, he got into it with a car that many of us could probably build given the same circumstances, he represented lots of us. Now that he's got sponsors to back him up and his focus has shifted from keeping it all fun to more competitive it seems as though he's sold out. Of course, i bet he is still the same old matt he was 2 years ago but he doesn't represent us anymore - he's just another driver now.

so many bitches in here cryin and moaning about it not being grassroot or the real deal, guess what folks, grass roots drifting doesnt pay bills...its fun, just like 90% of this fucken forum, all of you are either building a car for show, or fun, or to street, which frankly, thats your shit, and ur sinking money into something that wont mount to anything except in your eyes... Matt decided Function>Form... which i respect and agree with when theres money/sponsorships on the line...ive been fortunate to meet the guy and have a beer with em and kick back with for a minute at ASB...from what the article reads, he's making personal sacrifices not many of you would make to make this car fucken happen and you sit infront of ur screen thinking you have a right to talk shit... theres a big difference between the people who are sitting on the stands watching someone reach a goal, and the person driving reaching said goal... GL Matt... /rant

Can everyone see my awesome Matt Powers portrait now? I feel like it really captures the essence of this thread.

damn...i typed this long as fucking paragraph about how much it costs to remotely drive in formula D....
and bam...customer calls me...I go to post...and lost. fuck it. GOOD LUCK MATT...if any of these retards knew how much it actually cost to drive in formula D....they wouldn't be crying. Hell most of these retards couldn't even afford the vsxx you sold ramon at the price you sold them at. Let alone buy 8 gramlight 57d's. Never met the guy...all my buddies know the dude...and speak highly of him. If I could put this in perpective for you. If you were skateboarding. And broke a deck every two weeks, would you rather buy blanks for $30, or buy a real deck for $60 knowing when you boardslide, you are going to mess up those pretty graphics, and snap the deck in two weeks anyway. And you only had $60 per month to spend on a deck? That's what a v8 does to drifting...it makes it cheaper to compete, and takes the headache out of trying to have fun in the sport. I'm sure if Matt were balling out of control...he'd be driving something waaaaay more pimp. Like a BMW with a fucking V10 in it. lol I fucking love Mike...shout out...HAAAAAAY! |

all i want to know,is how is gonna put down all this power with the new tire sizing rule deelio?seems like having gobs of power wont be ideal anymore as you'll just be spinning the wheels with no control.

Matt is an alright dude.
im not sure how much matt's car weighs, but my homie walker with his s13 is limited to a 255 this season. i would assume s13/s14 is in the same weight class ?

if his car is anywhere near the same weight it was last year i think he will be on 255, but im guess he added some weight so he can go up to 265.

What they are continuing to push for is making it more difficult to be competitive in older chassis'. A lot of fans love to see 'new cars' drifting, and rather than having a rolling cutoff date (no cars older than X years) they're changing chassis rules to make previously-tech'd cars illegal without costly changes. I heard some stuff about how much SPD had to mess with Dai's car to get it to pass tech this year, whoooooooooooooooo, hope it's worth it. <3 Dai though, so it's all gravy.

i just dont like the idea of everyone going v8. i mean i understand the whole power issue but it is simply taking away from the true grassroot people. im sure the sport was never intended to evolve into what its now become. the skill level from the rolla guys that go out and compete against these v8 monsters is second to none. i mean honestly whats next vaugn gittins "skateboarding car" or the offroad drift truck. no pun intended at matt i understand the need to compete. i just wish the sport stayed true to the cars that gave birth to it, instead of turning its back on them. just my opinion.

Yeah, I'm sure that formula 1 always meant to run these cars with the same original motor setups and suspension setups. You guys are retarded. Motorsports grow, times change and things evolve. It happens to every motorsport and it always will. Embrace it and shut the hell up. |

if you dont like formula d dont watch it if you like asb or other "grass roots" events watch them people use v8's because they work, should we restrict everyone to 3cyl engines? yeah it could be entertaining but its not a top level competition matt you've ruined drifting :P |

Actually, I would say the V8 IS GRASSROOTS !!! Its so much cheaper, reliable and easier to maintain then building 900HP D1 cars. Grassroots would be the budget racecar imo. |

Going to a GM Parts store/napa/oralies to get your parts > waiting for a online parts order for your JDM motor.
That's all I got to say about the whole LSx swaps in s-chassis. Best of luck to Matt this year.

haha I keep telling people this, it makes so much sense. There are only so many places where I can buy an o2 sensor, a new AAC or IACV, TPS where as there are literally millions of places I can get parts for a trans am/camaro/corvette motor. |
