![]() It really is all about it being lightweight and rear-wheel drive with little power that makes it a ton of fun to drive. The Japanese cars sort of fit better in my mind because they focus on a more well-rounded, well-handling car versus the American high-horsepower cars that were focused more on straight line speed.Ī: I love the uniqueness of the Starlet, because no one has any idea what kind of car it is. For me, it’s all about small-displacement, high-revving motors. I’ve always been a Formula 1 fan and was always surrounded by motorsports. Q: Why do you love Japanese cars so much?Ī: I don’t know what turned me on to Japanese cars. I have always been a Volkwagen Golf Mk1 fan and love that body style-the Starlet has always reminded me of a rear-wheel drive version of that. This Starlet was never meant to be performance oriented or fast, and it was a challenge to make this car fast and fun to drive. You don’t see many around-they’re kind of rare. I have always been a fan of Corollas, and the Starlet is sort of the smaller, lighter hatchback version of it. The car is also autographed by legendary racer and founder of BRE Racing Peter Brock (both under the hood, and the access panel).A: It’s a bit more challenging to make something that’s unique and cool, and I wanted a car I could do that with.

The car has gone on to win a number of high honor awards, recognition, and accolades over the last 5 years and still seems to be a fan favorite wherever the car turns up. This is arguably one of the most recognizable 240z in the country with it's multiple SEMA appearance, magazine features, TV features, and other awards.
