With the new Genesis, I wonder if Hyundai will enter the drifting circuit. They used to kick ass in the Rally circuit with the Tib and Accent. Would be cool to see them get more trophies for drifting and give the 350Z/G35 guys a run for their money. smile.gif

Based on their commissioned SEMA cars I would suspect that Hyundai wants to see Genesis Coupes out drifting. We will just have to wait and see how badly Hyundai wants it to happen.

I'd like to see the Gen Coupe Driftin out there. But with the cancellation of the Nopi Drift series (actually they canceled every Nopi event this year) I guess they would have to go Formula D or U.S. Drift. But needless to say When I can get a Gen Coupe it will see some Slydeways action from me believe that.


Slide Or Die.

They Canceled because of some Bullshit about money and the cost of fuel. I was sooooo waiting for Nopi Nationals. I Love the Drift series A friend of mine drifts with nopi in his Dodge ram 50. 4g63t this year swapped in next year 2jz twin turbo goin in. Ha you guys should go check out The Drift Truck It is sick click for videos of some crazy sh*t too.
