RE: Drifting, wtf
thats a lot of wear and tear on your car (tires & clutch = dead), espescially if it is a DD.
i have to agree with SVTBill on the styling. those headlights without the amber would be a nice touch, no other import looking pieces would go with a stang imo.

to each their own, maybe it will look cool when you are done. Detemine who wins by judging instead of speed? That isnt racing, plus you will always get screwed by the Russian judge. If the car isnt your DD, i would say go for it, never know how much a drifter will serve as a work car. If it is your DD, i say go for it as it is your car. SAying you want to make it look like an import isnt going to go over real well, but i didnt build my car for other people, just me.

lol, i do a lot of unintentional drifting in the rain, but its a blast. the feeling of not having traction is cool, for some reason i really really like it so thats what really got me thinking about it, i dont know but i'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

but seriously. I want to make it styled like an import but i want to keep the muscle car attitude.

i actually thought about doing the same thing to my stang for a while...when i figured out that an actual GT or Cobra wouldn't be in my near future...i have never brought this up because it is like blasphemy...but whatcha think about swapping in the 3.4 SHO Yamaha V8....stroking it out to like 3.8 or 4.0....and then TCing it....it would be a screamer.....i know the huge torque-monsters (the American cars like the Viper, GTO, and Stangs) are domintating Formula D right now but the high-strung/revving engines are where it all began....idk...just a thought..............

RE: Drifting, wtf
Thanks a lot for the support and ideas. By import styling i meant..something different than 5 spoke rims for example, perhaps a set of Volk wheels? I dont know. Either way I'm either going to..
1.) Convert back to drag racing and highway pulls
2.) Go through with drifting
3.) Go buy an EVO or STi in a year or two while leaving the stang as is.
It's a toss up.
