c.a.p.a drift ute.... hate it or rate it?

when you bring a sport to australia, you have to expect that there will be an Australian spin put on it to include everyone.

And that is,

Holdens and Fords entering drift competitions.

As it has been said in previous posts... by excluding these cars from drifting, you are being just as bad as the narrow minded people that bag out japanese cars.

I embrace holdens and fords entering drift competitions, it is great for the growth of the sport.

I dislike seeing prejudice and poor sportsmanship because of the type of car someone drives. (except for front wheel drives, those things should be abolished from the earth :wassup: )

i think its a well presented car .. shit hot promotional tool thats for sure .... good luck to em ....i dont see Millen winning much in he's GTO Coupe in the States at D1 Level .. which is basically the same idea ...CAPA mirrord it in ute form ..so the likeliness of him winning is totally up to the driver and he;s skill, and the competition.

Bah to drift being limited to Jap imports. As has been said already, many of the comments have been as narrow minded as the 'bogans' they were paying out.

A Conformadore ute packs rear suspension similar in design to the old Datto IRS. Combine that with 5.7 litres of engine & pi55 all weight in the back and tell me that its not a suitable car for drift...

I like my imports but I can't despise a car based just on its badge or country of origin.

anything Robbie can do to help the sport of drifting take off in Aus is great.

If he chooses to use an Aussie Ute to show his talent then he can go for it..

Dont knock something or someone that shows potential and helps us out.

Just because something is Australian doesn't mean it's automatically crap!!

Good on the C.A.P.A. team for putting out such impressive figures and putting on a good show at every event I've seen so far, Australia is new to the sport of drifting but I'd love to see the C.A.P.A. ute becoming competitive enough to enter the D1 series. It's a pipe-dream right now but at least someone is trying and representing us!

Besides, the Japanese love everything eccentric and there is nothing like the VU series ute being produced in any other country right now..

everyone whos ragged on the ute/aussie cars - you are what makes this scene look bad.

pathetic attitudes. grow up.
