kind of funny

Did they do all of that R&D to make that car RWD just for the sole purpose of drift competition? That seems like kind of a waste.

you never know what toyota is going to come out with in the future, for all we know this might have been built just to see how much it would cost or what a rwd toyota coupe would be like in todays markets...

^^ Not bad considering it was his first event with the car. He's not making enough power IMO, which is why he got knocked out by the Silvia.

it was probably cheaper than paying to making a commercial then paying more to air it on national television. look at all the free advertising/promotion/buzz Scion is getting as a result of this.

Gary Castillo built this car. His shop (DesignCraft Fabrication) built Falken's G35 drift car, RSR's S14 & S2000 drift cars, Sparco's time attack Evo, Falken's S2000 powered S13 240SX drift car, a 350Z/VQ35 powered S13, etc. I'm sure the tC wasnt that hard for him to build.

Isn't it sad when people click because they want to hear Rick Astley? I knew it was a RickRoll, but it's been a while since I had some Rick in my life, so I wanted to hear it again.
