zero Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 There was a similar but shorter and less entertaining video up a couple of months ago, but this video has me amazed. I really dont understand how they maintain some of these angles and speeds with front wheel drive cars. In any case, Enjoy! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6712197296449757948&q=tokyo+drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think it has something to do with rear tires and some handbrake modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 These guys are nuts and it looks like sheer luck they aren't plowing through people on the side of the streets. Well they probably aren't showing the videos when they crash. I did see extensive front end damage on one of the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 These guys are nuts and it looks like sheer luck they aren't plowing through people on the side of the streets. Well they probably aren't showing the videos when they crash. I did see extensive front end damage on one of the cars. There was a previous middle eastern video posted maybe 2 years ago where a car drifted straight into a crowd at ~100 mph. Anyone else notice the one driver wasn't even wearing a seatbelt? Gotta wonder how they don't lose control of the wheel when the car transitions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Talk about pure luck. Did you see the part where he drifts in-between a big truck and a lightpole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Looks like thats really the only way to drift those underpowered FWD cars... lotsa SPEED ! I did spot an Altima in there near the end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Am I the only one who thinks this is just ignorant? A line from Syriana comes to mind. "You want to know what the business world thinks of you? We think a hundred years ago you were living out here in tents in the desert chopping each others heads off, and that's exactly where you're gonna be in another hundred." Simple mindsets with access to the worlds greatest resource. "Lets take this Kia Optima or Toyota Camry and send it flying sideways and hope we don't wipe out Joe blow on the way to work or all those people watching me on the side."

iaconsultants Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Actually it looks like there may have been some evasive driving training like they do in the company here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah L28et, I wasn't impressed either. That was total jack-assery, looked like they were just driving around with the e-brake on. No provisions for safety, the cars looked completely stock (check out the way the suspensions were just pegging back and forth...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
