Haha, I'm just saying it probably explains the price. It's back when people would have paid anything to buy a drift car. There's no way anyone will pay that price today.

$50K for that

You can buy a highly modded & dedicated track Evo/STi for $50K or less. I couldn't see spending that kind of money on that old ass rust bucket and still get passed on the track.

Even its a few years old, 50k still makes no sense. its not like it was not possible to build a drift car until recently

$50k for 360hp makes me sad

Uhhh, you sure about that? Pretty sure hatches are closer to 2700 lbs, so shedding 550+ pounds on an already somewhat light car isn't too shabby.

But yeah. That's a 10-12k car at most really. It's just an SR, and not putting out all that much HP (although 360 is a good amount for an SR). For 50K I want some crazy 2JZ putting out 800 or something.

I'm not saying the car is worth the price, I'm saying that 2 years ago someone would have probably bought it for something around that price. 50K is asking, they were probably offered something lower for it.

And another thing you guys have to understand. This is a dedicated drift car. If you think any normal person is going to handle a 500rwhp+ car on a drift circuit you are insane. 360rwhp is fairly moderate power for what it is designed to do, I really wouldn't expect anything more than that.

I could have 5 reliable 300 whp turbo MR2s for that much. pretty cool though.
