That's my point. How does that 2nd gen GS drift if it still has the stock foot e-brake on.....?

this is the email

Subject: RE: DRIFTING ARISTO

Yep! His car is really nice!

The guy is a JGTC driver and D1 driver, and that aristo is his personal car that he drives on the streets. He got it stickered up, modified it so that it's faster and lighter and brought it over here to the US. I think it's going to stay here for awhile!

Do you know him personally? I would like to get him to come to one of our meets.....

I don't know him personally, but we're both sponsored by Yokohama, and I'm friends with a couple guys at HKS. I don't know if I can get HIM out to one of your meets, but I might be able to get his car!

That would be sweet!! He might like it since there will be other GS's at the meet, but I'll let you know when we have our next meet and we'll see what happends.


Well, make sure that it's a big meet, and it will be easier for me. I'd have to ask HKS to trailer the car out, and bring promotional stuff out like stickers, brochures, and junk like that!

Well right now we are setting up a huge meet 200+ cars, if it happends.. But its not close its gonna be a mid point from Socal and Norcal so I don’t know if that would be a problem...were still trying to find a spot to have the meet..do you have any hookups in that area or know of places where we could have the meet we're thinking Monterey..pizmo beach coastline ?


Well, let me know. That is pretty far so we'll just have to see what they say. As for a place in between norcal and socal, sorry, I have no idea!


So there you go...it might happened

I was told that alot of guys in japan that have a foot ebrake like the GS and and others big sedans put something such as cigarete packs in between the ebrake to stop from locking so when they step on the ebrake and let go it comes right back ...cool huh

I wonder if he needs a driver to get his car to the meet, if so, I might be available. j/k

I could stare at that pic all day long.
