But it looks cool.
The front tire looks awfully close to the fender.

Looks like he got a little carried away with lowering the car.

A guy I work with drifts with a 240sx. He is putting a new motor in it now and when he gets it back, I'll be going to watch him at E-Town - or where ever else he plans on running.

I prefer drag racing, but I gotta say, I've watched a few events on speed and it looks really quite challenging and fun. Maybe I'll give it a try.
