@banpei

Actually the handling and the look are both important on a drift car. People who dont know drift will have a better impression of this sport if they see nice cars instead of cars like this 86 which really looks like some ricer car. He could just paint it black, lower it and put some nice rims (larger than those).

The green AE86 isn't Ja-sper's car: that's P-Nut's car. You may find it ugly, but he became second in KOE last year and won KOE Russia last weekend:

The driver does care more about the handling of the car than about the looks: just the way it should be in drifting! ;)

Funny thing thing is I almost bought that very same car (for how much it is the same now? 20%?). The owner before Vernon was about an hour quicker than me. :(

Is that M3 running a different front end? It looks like it's coming from the E46 line of BMWs.

Or did the Euro-versions just get a different front fascia than what I'm used to seeing in the states?"

Its a standard E36 with a late spec E46 front end conversion, the E46 M3/M3 CSL never got the late spec front. Seen the conversion a couple of times here i Sweden. Cheers mate!

The David Roze car is a Cresta.

And this green AE86 is just ugly as f*ck, looks like some bad tuning video game car...
