That's awesome! I would love to see an F drift like that, but I think it's not likely

I never really understood drifting, still don't. And, I'm a big NASCAR fan.

But here, I think the guy should be arrested for child endangerment. IMHO, you don't put a kid in danger like that He's wearing a full face helmet, the kid is not.

with some crappy tires, the right suspension and front turn in angle, you can probably get the F to drift like that. The big issue would probably just disabling traction control fully. You can probably get any RWD lexus to drift like that

There is a guy in japan who drifts his ISF and it looks stock. Saw it on youtube, but I can't find the video now. Someone want to play detective?

Questionable parenting..

The probability that this kid will be injured on the ride home is probably higher than a pro driver on a closed course.

I drift the crap out of my f (granted its mods are very well supporting tires spinning all the way into 4th) the isf drifts very nice, it's similar design suspension to the supra and v8 really make driving the car spiritedly rather easy. You can start to get a feel of the car kicking by leaving traction control on and it will kick out then trac enables placing you right to where you had turned the wheel to. Otherwise (only advised with LSD) turn trac off by long hold on trac button next to sport/snow switch and find a safe place to learn how to slide the car around. You'll be using a type of drifting called faint drifting since we don't have a hand brake (yet, I'm looking into designs for using our stock internal drums) to initiate/control the angle of drift.

haha Look I poured shampoo on the road. I can drift too.

All jokes aside still cool to see the F do its drift dance
