Ground effects look decent, nice to see aftermarket wheels, but the wing is mega lame. I don't mind the graphics it's nice to see something different.
Seeing those ground effects makes me more interested in getting a GTO.

About the TV show Rides:
Jon, I can't seem to find it. I think it was on another board that I'm a member of.
From what I remember, the show rides featured a red and black semi-riced IS300 Lexus that received a donor motor transplant from the [GS430 Lexus]? The swap was performed by Rod Millen. Rod's son is into all the Ricer stuff.

SSonyour6, your SS looks bad, man!!!
US Muscle would make the best drifting cars. Big torque and RWD!!!
I bet that Viper was a beast to try to drift, they are tricky on a track just keeping them going straight!!!

That GTO has Greddy stickers why? A big *** aluminum wing why? Those guys dont get over like 60 anyhow, if that? So you can't give me the excuse that its used for downforce at high speeds. That thing is gay as hell. Pontiac decided to leave nascar and participate in drifting, and or ricing.

crazy, the wing, looks sweet, its function even sweeter.
The wing is fully functional, it allows for more downforce to be added or reduced. The wing also has directional ability, to start or hold a drift. All of this is cockpit adjustable. If you get a chance to see the GTO build on G4 you would see the hard work and technology put into the car.

wow there are a lot of stupid and ignorant people in this thread
1) show me anywhere where drifting has been advertised as racing
2) not over 60mph? maybe with some of you ****** driving that car, but im sure RHYS MILLEN just decided to put a wing on the car for cosmetic, not that he has years of rally experience or that he is rod millens kid, im sure they are both totally ignorant when it comes to aerodynamics
3) Greddy stickers? ever heard of these things called sponsors? like cash money for exposure? im sure my drift car from last year is gay too, www.bubbadrift.com , oh noes teh stickers, must be rice
get a clue

Why would someone do that to that GTO.
Stickers
Body kit

The GTO has GReddy stickers for christ sake.
They could at least pu decent parts on it
and not use sticker too announce it.

drifting is NOT racing, never has been never will be, its a judged competition, just like X games, but X games is gay too i guess.
