Default Tanner Foust Street drift

Ok.. I don't give a sh*t... This looks really f*n cool! The filming of it is just great. I guess that 'kid' is qualified to drive those exotics on that show.. If I had the money to throw away for a couple sets of good tires, and an empty track at my disposal, I'd love to try drifting or even take a class on it..

I still don't get the whole e-brake thing when you are still in gear.. Maybe just enough to slow the back end down enough to get it to start to slide.

When my bro took me out drifting in his TA, He would just pull the ebrake to controll the intrance to the silde and use the throttle to controll the angle and follow through. Its quicker and easy to get the car sideways in a approach to a corner. You can still steer the car while the back tires are lock up and just side step the gas and clutch.

Yea Tanner Foust is probably my favorite driver for testing cars on TV shows. Personally I hate Jeremy Clarkson! Tanner is a better driver & a better host on his show Supercars Exposed. Hes a driver in the Formula D & does rally. He was the stunt driver on Fast & The Furious Tokyo Drift. So he knows a thing or two about driving haha. But yea hes getting payed to do all of this & is sponsored by Rockstar. Drive the fastest/most expensive cars in the world.... What a life huh?

My favorite is when he raced Ken Block in the X-Games (without a front brake...) What a close one....

do it, buy a clean 89-93 240sx with a 5sp, weld the rear diff, put on a good set of coilovers, and race seats and slide it..

I drive/ride that road every weekend and even during the week sometimes on the bike or in the car...the levels of jealously I have after seeing him tear it up on a closed course, double-laning...ugh.
