General discussion forum about the 240sx, and a great place to introduce yourself to the board!

You do realize that when you was spining out, that was the first time ever he took that car out...ever. He made a few adjustments and ranked 16th in the end. That beats alot of silvias and 86s. I think GM took a big first step giving RMR a couple of brand new GTOs to mess around with. I think GM's interest in drifting might influence the way the new firebirds and camaros will be engineered. I love seeing the GTO drift, and i love to see 240s and silvias drift.. i really love watching 4 door cars drift. I love watching it all, i don't care what the car is, as long as its done well.

Except Samuel Hubinette is from Sweden and was a rally driver/ ice racer. :D

saw it twice. The GTO is okay i think its kind of ridiculous though everything they put into it and ****. well he didnt do all that bad for bulding a car in a hurry and not testing it much. Maybe he'll do better next year.

was that the only Domestic car in the Competition?

i still laugh at the GTO... GM puts it out to seem like its a car that some one can go out and buy and with few mods drift.... that car has nothing stock about the rear end... everything was changed. down to the shock mounts.

and from what i hear GM is not to happy with millens driving.

He is a really good rally driver. So to say he sucks at drifting is ill founded. He is just not accustomed to "japanese style D1 drifting" Also A D1 drift car is hardly stock too. Shock mounts not stock eh. What about pillowball mounts. You Know what? How about you put coilovers on a car that just come out a few months ago!

I'm not mad. I'm just dissapointed that some poeple don't realise how much work went into that car/team. I think if I jumped in that car I would cream every single guardrail ( videogame style) lol. Also if I can drift my stock 155hp 240sx I'm pretty sure I could drift a stock 400hp GTO. duh. Anyhoo to the fans go download some vids. Yes he needs work (reckless) , but he will improve. I hope!
