We just got an announcement from Royal Purple about their involvement in Formula Drift as the official oil. Mazel tov all around. 

The release features an E46-chassis BMW set up for drift. So that got us chatting: What is your favorite rear-drive chassis? Is the answer still Miata or is there something else?

Big enough for the whole family to enjoy drifting.

Just curious, as someone who follows FD, who was the driver?

Miata is still up there, but I drove an MR-S at an autocross this summer and that thing really got in my head too.

You know, the last MR2 is a car that often is overlooked.

Given the $38,000 one sold for on BAT yesterday, and I have two with less than 10k miles, since new, mint, market may be agreeing with me devil
