I liked drifting my old long bed Chebby truck. So easy to control. It was like slow motion.

[SVT_Power]

Yep. Holy mother of polar inertia, batman.

Once that shit gets out: it stays out.

I still don't understand how he saved that after going onto the turf.

That is fucking amazing!

I got the Caddy's tail out for the very first time just a few months ago. Completely unintentional. Now I realize how weight is the enemy of spirited driving

First time?  I've had the tail out on my Jetta dozens of times. Dry and snow.  Snow can be scary because it sort of comes out even if you don't want it to.

Drifted my FWD SHO at 20mph totally by accident. Ended up looking the way I'd come, the way I wanted to go was behind me...
Totally icy hardpack...

Okay. Less interiors, and more 0-100-0 vids.

I was doing an auto-x once in a Boxster. Before the final turn was close to a 360 degree circle skidpad to the finish. I came in too fast, lost it, and the front end started pointing at the cones. I managed to save it through the skidpad, my time was screwed, but people gave me a huge applause. I wish I had video of it. Drifting nose first around a circle of cones to the finish line and saving it.

TL;DR: Nose was pointed at apex for almost a full circle and I saved it somehow. Probably needed new tires after that.

Thanks for the shot of your GPS. Now I know what house to TP.

Shoot a video of the engine bay. Nothing better then a brand new engine that's all clean.

[AutobahnSHO]

ugh I'm scared.

This video is a good review with a little drive, takes a sharp corner marked 20mph at 40mph and just blows through it casually, but at the end says "those tailpipes are a little too small. Gonna have to fix that soon."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
KEEP THE RICERZ AWAY!!!!

Anyone translate Japanese??

American audience wouldn't get this one anyway- I saw an old Subie like that on ebay a while back, non-running for just a few hundred bucks. Would be fun to rebuild and do parades or BRZ rallies or whatever...   

[Onslaught]

Oh, the Ricerz will be all over these things.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Oh, the Ricerz will be all over these things.

In a heartbeat..........

had to set the record straight.

I will later.  The engine is basically dragging on the ground and up against the fire wall.  A turbo would be really difficult to route in there.  The view out is pretty crazy because the hood is soooo low.  The middle of the hood just drops off out of sight, and the fenders flare up a lot higher on each side.  Pretty cool view.

ugh I'm scared.

Fuck that guy.  Don't watch his videos.  He's all over the BRZ forums promotin his shit.  He's made a million videos. and now he's bitching about how he doesn't love the car and how he was considering a GT-R too.  He's a spoiled little shit.  I think his parents pay for everything.  Now he's saying that there isn't enough "drama" in the car.  He's a wanna-be clarkson/harris, and now is just being controversial for the sake of it to try and views.  It's pretty sad.  Pretty much reads just like that EVO review.

There's a bad ass review I saw the other day on the car.  I'll post a link when I find it again.  Also, about the exhaust tips: they actually are smaller than the JDM ones.  The JDM ones are 86 mm in diameter (same as the stroke, same as the bore, etc).  They look really good.

Oh, the Ricerz will be all over these things.

I'll be doing the opposite.  Taillights will be all red soon, and much classier

Although, technically, it could have been anyone giving a shout out to anyone else named Raza.  You weren't CarSPIN specific.

Lol fuckface.

[GoCougs]

Congrats - new cars are all sorts of fun. From here on out I'll definitely be on much shorter rotation than in times past.

[SVT_Power]

Obviously he should've said your whole name on youtube

[GoCougs]

As to this spike in drifting stories, the G doesn't allow too much. Even with stability control "off" it will still intervene to a moderate extent, plus the AWD won't allow for much of it anyway, though it keeps it on the edge - I have yet to get the car to plow or understeer.

[dazzleman]

You guys are going to be so disappointed by my lame video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLESL1G-OnI

Good to see the new car, man.  It looks pretty sweet.  Good luck with it.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I just saw one the exact same color as yours. But the owner had the front plate drilled into the right side of the bumper NEXT the black insert!

[CALL_911]

Wowowowow am I jealous. Congrats man, here's to many miles of happy motoring.

[Vinsanity]

Yeah. I'm actually surprised that it even happened because the stability control is usually pretty quick in calling an end to the shenanigans

[Soup DeVille]

Fun fact: the parking brake stops the traction and stability control programs from running in most cars; even those that won't ever noramlly go ff entirely, enough pressure on the parking brak eto light up the warning light and it stops running.

[r0tor]

It all depends on the programming of allowable yawn rates and wheel spin.  It's not at all uncommon for spotty rides to have the systems allow 20-30 degrees of yawn before intervention.

Useless fact if it's one of those idiot push on/push off type brakes, though.

Well, its not of great use in any case.
