...Probably would not have been my first choice... But still pretty darn cool.

Sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Honda Element-D Drifting Racecar unveiled at SEMA 2006 show

Quote:

Honda Element-D

The Honda Element-D ("D" for drifting) racecar shows what can happen when enthusiastic Honda associates raid the company parts bin. Built for the racing sport of drifting, the Honda Element-D racecar replaces the stock 4-cylinder/Real Time™ 4WD drivetrain with a custom-designed and longitudinally-mounted 3.2-liter Honda V6 and rear-wheel-drive. Producing 500-horsepower, the lightweight twin-turbocharged powerhouse is guaranteed to light up the rear tires and accelerate sideways at full opposite lock. Associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio plan to campaign the Element-D in the 2007 Formula Drift Series.

That's actually really cool.

Haha, I like how the inside is totally stripped, but it still seems to have the stock dashboard

It's cool but I can't see it doing very well in competition.. it's just too topheavy.
