I like the idea and the paint scheme, just the backend needs to lose that ridiculous ground-effects stuff. Shave the spoiler and that weird sheet-metal stuff and you'd have a sweet, clean car.

Interesting idea...poor execution. I like it from the front...but are all those things really necessary(sp?) in the rear?

Its a rear diffuser, better airflow. I dont see what the purpose of that huge spoiler is for a drift car? Wouldnt you want a lighter rear so it can break free easier.

EDIT: Also why would anyone want to drift a 944 series car?

I disagree. A 240sx would kill a 944 in drifting any day. Not in A-X though. But thats true i would rather suck at drifting in a porsche, then win in a nissan.

I think its a bit to rice, but I am not opposed to the idea of drifting a 944 or 968.

I never said drifting was not fun, im just saying 944 are set up for sticking to the pavement not sliding. It would be harder to drift a 944 rather then say a 240sx.

It has more to do with suspension setup than anything. 240sx and 350z make great drift cars after a bunch of suspension work. same as a 944 imho, just get really stiff suspension thats setup for drifting.

Well, the 240sx has a longer wheel base.

Doesn't look that bad. The only part I'd get rid of are the whale flipper curled up things on the front bumper.

I can't believe they cut a euro spoiler to put that thing on.
