You have to see this guy drive.
Looks like this guy has done a little circuit work in his teenage years.
What happens if I press alt + F4?

hate to be a passenger
If you watch the video you will see the camera mount for the external shots on the car keeps moving location, so it is a well edited attempt to make it look like one great perfect run. I must admit his driving still is extremely high.
Adobe.
to all those that seem to complain about it being edited (on this forum and the 1 million other forums that this has been posted on)
I would like to see you do 1/100's of what he is clearly capable of.
and I don't doubt its edited, but its not the point of the video!!!
Adobe don't see this as an attack at you, you clearly stated that you admire his ability, its just that there is so many people out there ripping on it because its been edited...
Man ,nothing special there....i drive like that every day on my way to work..
You need to spend some time with the crowd i mix with.LOLOriginally Posted by hillbilly
Hint; the skills are developed by rally driving, on tar with enough HP its a piece of cake.
Nothing out of the ordinary but extraordinary if he did it in one take.
Its been posted before, my thoughts are there including the give away of editing.
Still i think its a nice clip regardless of whether its edited or not.
The ol humber 90 could go just as hard in a wet paddock
Old Dog, No Flies
I know what you mean Twoshots, we used to have an EJ with straight out extractors.
TOOOO much fun, we all survived and nobody lost an eye.

That's a bit like a trip to the shops with my mrs driving
Pfffffttt
Do that every day in a small truck that weighs 4 tonnes unladen
And yes i do have an offsider. Wondered why he was having so many sickies..
posted a week or so ago ......
over it
i just picked up my evo X and be stuffed if i still have my license next week ill try make my own video
Congrats on getting a great car with one of the quickest launches ive seen to 70kmh.
You will need heaps of tyres to make a good vid LOL
Try to control yourself on hard launches, ive seen some EVO gearboxes drop their guts.
Not a pretty site.
Post pics in here.

Sure it's good driving but as Godzilla mentioned you need to spend a bit of time around the crowds that just shrug their shoulders at this clip.
Some of the young drift drivers around Australia are amongst the best in world , there is nothing in that video I haven't seen at certain undisclosed drift meets that could be easily edited together to make an even more spectacular video.
I can go as far as to say that some of the things I have seen these guys pull off make this look tame.
Unfortunately some of these same unbelievably talented guys who I consider the most switched on drivers on the roads are being labeled as dangerous hoons!
Anyone who thinks this is spectacular and has never seen real life drifting , do yourself a favor and spend a day at an organized drift event
If they do it on the roads they are bloody hoons, do it on the track where it does not endanger anyone else.
I have seen some very good drivers do some fu**ing stupid things on the road, not the place for this.

Joey I drift myself, I know a lot of drifters, even a couple national drivers, and their all impressed by the Vid, so I say there is no one hear that can do what this guy does, I also know a couple of Vic Rally drivers and they were all impressed as well, and if you ask me the Rally guys are the ones with the balls not the drifters... I know I can't hit corners on dirt a 150kmh sideways with tree's all around me!Hillbilly :

Id agree with that comment.
I miss spent my youth on Mt Dandenong at all hours of the morning well before drifting was even heard of in Australia. LOL
Black ice was interesting in winter.
Lets just say it was a stepping stone.
From there i got into Rally driving on a club level.
Its where the craft is truly learned.
If you want to learn car control to the ultimate level start club rally driving.
I doubt after tasting the dirt you would go back to drifting, but should you do so you will find it very......basic.
Just my personal experience.
Having said all that don't get me wrong, drifting is a good skill to watch and do, its another form of high skill motor sport.

Well, I don't care what's been said above.
It was a pretty cool video to watch, however it was made.
Car sounds great, and watching a 4wd drift like that is impressive.
Sounds wicked too.
Kinda reminded me of the good old days on Parramatta Rd in peak hour. Go sideways drift thru the macca's carpark on the corner of Silverwater rd, across 2 lanes on parra rd, launch it over the hill & past Harvey norman. Weeeeeee.
I had great fun in my turbo datto. I am sure I had that car airborne a few times.
