Drifting contest in a Viper

[ElDiablo Viper]

I'm just wondering if anybody thought of doing it. I think that it would attract a lot of attention. I wonder why there is no American cars even in US events.

Check out this crazy video

Tires must be free in japan. Our tires cost a little more. =)

Drifting a Viper isn't that hard, but some of the stuff they do in that video is VERY hard if not impossible to do in the Viper. I always have a hard time doing good donuts because the rear tires are so big they push the front end around no matter what you do.

Oh please don't start this. No Viper drifting, please, PLEASE!

Looks like a road race on Pilot Sports

SECONDED.

 

[RavenFan_94]

Wow. Some of those moves are insane. I was adding an extra layer of rubber to the black top in a parking lot this afternoon. Had no idea my dessert was to be humble pie. Thanks for the vid.

crazy ****

 

[SnakeBitten]

Two words....Car Control .....Im sure those guys would drift a Viper with ease just like that......I had a vid with some Japanese kids drifting "PEDAL BIKES" around corners etc...They will drift anything...

 

[RedEnuf93]

Now I know why I cannot find anymore PolyGlas tires in US....

Or are they driving on hockeypucks???

 

[Snake Bitten]

Gayest thread evar!!!

Gayest thread evar!!!

I never thought that car control could be ***.

 

[b3rndtt0ast]

nope. but burning up 600+ bucks in tires sure is :-D

 

[ElDiablo Viper]

nope. but burning up 600+ bucks in tires sure is :-D

But smoking tires at the 1/4 mile track is OK

Japanese.......the things they do to entertain themselves.
They come up with some of the dumbest things!
Gotta say though............I had a good laugh!

Looks like the last VCA-PVO autocross at Chelsea.

Looks like my drive to work on XGTZs when it's 20F outside.

Looks like Dunlop SP Sport 8000s ...

Looks like a marketing tactic for tire/tar remover products.

Maybe it's the excuse/method needed to buy those new tires...

It's definitely having fun with your toys.

1/4 mile you have to get the tires hot to stick. your not doing it just to do it.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

The vid was mildly entertaining but, car control? Gimme a break. Any bonehead can whip the *** around on one of those little fartboxes. What is really impressive is that lawyers and insurance companies haven't yet spoiled everybody's fun over there.

 

[Bill B]

It's not as easy as it looks.

 

[Nadine UK GTS]

Put me down for the contest, I'd like to out drift them with some big America BHP and big fat tires!

 

[BarbaraAnn]

Nadine, you're NUTS!

 

[SingleMalt]

That has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while... Thanks for the link.

 

[jcaspar1]

I see drifting as the rhythm gymnastics of motor sports!

 

[9 seconds]

No sh*t. Tonight at the SRT-4 nationals the young PVO engineers were talking about a Japanese dude who will be drifting in a competition coupe.

 

[kverges]

Looks pretty hard to me and get ready, it's going to be a motorsports sensation here - maybe not NASCAR, but it will be popular - even SCCA is sanctioning the events.

I thought it was pretty entertaining and impressive.

 

[LIVIPER]

How the he!! do they do that without bringing the rear around?!?! I guess there is a thin line and they know how to ride it.

 

[Torquemonster]

It's becoming the sanctioned way to get the street racers off the streets.

Sure a lot of them are punks - but some of them are very good at it. I even seen AWD cars like EVO's do it - and that'd take even a race driver a few hours and a packed lunch to learn that.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow is all that I have to say.

 

[nomoreGTS]

I would never do that in a viper, but you have to admit that takes skill! It was also very entertaining. I love those vids. Thanks Eldiablo Viper.

 

[ROCKET62]

Probably the next X-Games event added!

Wish I'd have thought of burning up my old tires like that before replacing them.
