1992 Nissan 240SX (MS13)

The 240SX was introduced into the North American market by Nissan in 1989, and was later found to be a perfect drift car and very balanced grip car. The 240SX is closely related to other S-chassis vehicles; this example being one of most versatile car and driver out of the group. The 240SX is known for its sharp steering and handling characteristics, thanks to its MacPherson front struts and a multilink rear suspension.
1970 Nissan 240Z (S30)

Nissan's first Z-car, and probably its best. Introduced in 1970 with standard 4 wheel independent suspension, consisting of MacPherson front struts and Chapman rear struts, making it an amazing car for its age that can take down sports cars half its age. The 240Z broadened the image of Japanese car-makers beyond their econobox success, crediting it as a catalyst for the current import performance parts industry.
1992 Nissan 240SX (RPS13)

The name 180SX was originally in reference to the 1.8 liter displacement CA18DET engine used in the chassis. In 1991, however, the engine was upgraded to a 2.0 liter model, the turbocharged SR20DET. This is a true 180SX conversion with an SR20DET power plant to match. It has the perfect amount of power for long showy drifts, or for tight autocross corners.
1962 Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1)

Volkswagen's most well know car, very light, and now very fast. The Type 1 is astonishingly flexible in that most of its parts in its Boxter-4 engine are easily exchanged for larger or more high-performance items. The standard VW engine can be modified from its orginal 1600cc configuration to well over 2300cc using larger piston/cylinder kits and other performance-enhancing pieces.
2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI (Type 1K)

Among Volkswagen aficionados, the letters GLI are held in high esteem and are perhaps second only to the letters GTI. Since its inception, the GLI badge has graced sedan versions of the hatchback GTI with all the joy of the GTI, but in the more-family-friendly Jetta package. The GLI is agile, precise, and totally predictable, with the taut, tightly strung feel that's peculiar to cars that have autobahn in their DNA.
1993 Nissan 240SX (RMS13)

Another drift car in the making. This one is still powered by a KA24DE power plant, but that does not slow it down any. In 1991 the SOHC KA24E was replaced by a new DOHC KA24DE. It had 4 valves per cylinder, and produced 15 more HP for a total output of 155 HP (116 kW).
1987 Toyota MR2 (AW11)

Toyota's first answer to a two-seat, mid-engined, rear wheel drive sports car. The small and light MR2, code named AW11, was something no one had expected from any Japanese car manufacturer. In 1988 the chassis was made available with a Supercharged 4A-GE engine. This one was originally NA Tuned, but has since been converted to Force Induction.
1994 Mazda MX-5 (NA8C)

The first generation MX-5, designated as the NA, sold over 400,000 units. It was produced from 1989 to 1993 with a 1.6-liter straight-4 engine, and from 1994-1997 with a 1.8-liter engine. The NA can be recognized by its distinctive pop-up headlights..
199X Mazda RX-7 (FC3S)

The FC RX-7 was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1986, and the Turbo II was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for a second time in 1987. The car was available with a naturally aspirated, fuel-injected 13B-VDEI producing 160 hp (119 kW) or an optional turbocharged model that had 200 hp (147 kW).
1992 Nissan 240SX (RPS13)

The Nissan 180SX was a liftback based on the S13 chassis from the Nissan S platform. The S13 Silvia was discontinued in 1993, but the 180SX was kept by Nissan for the full length of the next generation S14 Silvia. This is one of the beautiful examples of why.
1997 Nissan 240SX (S14)

The S-series' claim to fame is that it is one of the world's most popular drift cars. It also has a long history in road racing. This one is no exception, and is the only non-S13 model of the group. This updated version of the S-series Chassis is popularly known as a Kouki S14.
2001 Lexus IS300 (JCE10L)

The Lexus IS was originally sold as the Toyota Altezza in Japan until the introduction of the second generation Lexus IS design. The first generation Altezza was launched in Japan in October 1998, while the IS300 it made its debut in North America in 2000. It is viewed as the successor to the AE86.
1986 Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86)

During its production life, the AE86 was a popular choice for showroom stock, Group A, and Group N racing. Part of the continued appeal of the AE86 for motorsports is its rear-drive configuration, a feature not available in most newer lightweight coupes. This may not be the "Ghost of Akina" with its "Group A" 20V engine, but be fore warned, Formula Atlantic parts have found their way into this 16V 4A-GE.
2007 Volkswagen Golf R32 (Type 1K)

Due to unexpected popularity in Europe, Volkswagen decided to sell the car in the United States as the 2004 Volkswagen R32. Billed as the pinnacle of the Golf IV platform, the R32 included every performance, safety, and luxury feature VW had to offer. In 2007 the R32 returned as the Golf V, this time going from 0 to 100 km/h at a reduced to 6.2 s with a direct-shift gearbox.
1991 Ford Ranger XLT (PICK-UP)

If you have not looked at Ford lately, look again. This truck is 5-SPD manual. It has worked so well for so many years. Now its the Lug Nut Motorsports tire carrier of choice! It also is good for moving things, but most of all it supplies us with laughter when the body rolls due to the engine reaching its 3K RPM redline! This truck features low miles. It has doors and tubless tires! It even has a wind shielding system that consist of a clear liquid material (AKA GLASS).
