At last, HKS made the good choice! Congratulations on choosing my favourite car of all times... Except the Impreza, of course
Seriously now: don't say that the car won't be competitive! It doesn't matter if it's an S15 or something else, it just has to be driven by a good driver. Remember last year's Ueo Katsuhiro's AE86? He won with it at Irwindale, even tough he was with Imamura's FD in the finals. I am pretty sure that Altezza is a potent driftcar and I hope it'll show some fangs.
Imamura used to drive a poo-poo brown '86. He then switched to an APEX'i sponsored Altezza, and then, after half a year, he got into the FD.

Oki Drifter; i believe apex scrapped the altezza because it could not be competitive in D1; not enough wheel angle when they countered.
they couldn't get high enough scores w/ the car.
considering that rhys tore that gto apart to make it competitive; it's about time someone else is picking this platform for drifting.
color's kinda nasty though. hehe.

you guys have to remember, what other cars scored a ZERO on their round debut? hmm
- BLITZ WORKS ER34
- RE- WORKS RX-7
- DRFT RX-7
- KUROI's yellow 240
...all those cars are either seeded drivers now, or have respectable amounts of points in the series. first round or even second round isn't going to be the true potential of the car until driver and team become comfortable with the car. And they're going to experience teething problems too. who knows, they may run into problems like nomura has, with his fuel pump seizing during finals, and fuel pressure regulator malfunctions...

Hey, guys, remember that this is going to be NOB 's car, and NOB will be driving it. If he likes the paint, and he likes the Altezza, and HKS is good with it, so be it. I don't think HKS reads internet drifting boards to decide what paint or car it will use for it's D1 events. Take a chill pill, guys/girls.
Personally, I think the car looks badass, and I don't even like vinyl or airbrushing usually. I can't wait to see it run. Sedans look great drifting, like the Chaser.
