It is.
The JZX90 Chaser has a distinctive, understated appeal unlike other 1JZ cars. Dark green is especially cool, don't you think? I'd love a feature that follows the Drift Tengoku Chaser from purchase to retirement, with photos and stories. Sorry for making such a selfish request.
Why not take another look at it?
…that's why.
When people ask me, ‘Which one is good?’ I tell them, ‘The JZX90 is great!’ It offers good value and is a good car even when you're not drifting. I chose the Chaser as my demo car because, like Chaser-kun, I thought it had a particularly cool, understated feel…
Drift car
I love the JZX90 Chaser. Please feature a Drift Tengoku Chaser—the drift car, and the demo car from the previous issue—and do a special feature on it.
I thought it had that cool, understated quality. And the name is great—it means ‘pursuit car’! Maybe I should seriously gather only JZX90 Chasers next time, as a way to take another look at them.
Snow drifting again…
