wut i think is funny is that raceonusa always shows these fancy kits from japan. Im thinking they want everyone's feedback so they know which kit to copy and make a replica.

For this car I already know which kits are/would good to make a long long time ago. I've wanted to get a runner kit for 4 years now. I can't get into anymore detail in the forum because if it gets on the topic of us selling stuff the mods will kick me off.
When I come across these crazy cars on auctions or Japanese websites I post them here because 9/10 times no one here has seen them, and they are very popular threads. Also I want to get one of these cars for myself so I'm always looking at Soarers, sometimes I come across something crazy like this beast and I'll post it. For this car I am biased because I'de probably make the kit that I want for my personal car first (once/if I get one) regardless of the response.
If I was on another forum about volkswagen beeltes or a different car I didn't know about you'de be right though.

I don't see bags. Pics?
And bags can be set up to perform. I go to Air Ride Technologies Street Challenge every year and all of the cars racing are on bags. I've even drifted ART's cars on the track. It's all in the setup.

Cars that drift, cant grip, and therefore does not perform well.

And I guess I'll tell Tyler McQuarrie to give back the trophy he got when he broke the time attack record at Buttonwillow in the JIC drift S15. The only change made was to put R-compound tires on it. Not even camber changes were made. And I guess I also must have been doing things all wrong when I drove KAAZ's drift car at WSIR and it somehow didn't drift.
Cars don't drift completely on their own. It takes driver input. Cars with bags can handle extremely well when installed with the intent to handle (ie., sway bars, shocks, etc.). Your point is moot since I'm sure you haven't driven a bagged car on a racetrack. I have, along with tons of "conventional" suspension race cars. I think you're not taking into consideration that bags basically give you an adjustable, progressive spring rate.
You still haven't backed up your statement that the car has bags either. All I asked for was a pic so I could check it out and you got all defensive.

I assume that you're talking from experience?

I'll end it there unless he wants to make an intelligent argument instead of making childish jabs.

Getting the track record at a "redline Time Attack" isnt the same as getting a track record at button willow. Tyler is lucky that sofronas wasnt there w/ his gt3. WOW U DROVE A DRIFT CAR AND DIDNT DRIFT IT YAY!!!! U sir deserve a delicous pastry.
