Wow. That looks pretty impressive. I just read the write up that was in Total 911 a couple of issues ago. It definitely would be an incredible drive. Thanks for posting the video.

Eh, no match for a well-set up Mustang.

All that sliding, tire squealing and howling. Not the fast way around the track...

Fun to watch, sure.
Put it on slicks with a better driver and it would be much more entertaining.

Trekkor, I thought the exact same thing.

I'm sure drifting such a beast is fun, and it makes great video, but...

A drift video of a car with unpainted carbon fiber.

I would love to see this with Tanner Faust drifting it in a 4th gear long, llurid, slide with all the driver aid's in the OFF mode. The aids in this thing are set for a considerable bit of drift and yaw angle before it interrupts things. A tad frustrating trying to decide how much of the hero is the car and how much is the driver. The car is good enough that it isn't readily apparant. Good for the car... but ... still.. I prefer to see a DRIVER using a performance piece without all the computers making him look good. In this case, I can't telll and I suppose it doesn't matter.

Show me these same stunts in an old 930 and I will know where the talent lies.

Still. Rather nice video. Thanks for posting it.

And the Mustang... as long as the computer crap is turned off... why not? A shocking amount of fund and preformance. Just not piggly blower Shelby...

Yes please. I like how the panic brake lights kept going off on the track.
