CRAZY...
The road was wet too. It was beyond dangerous but in the end it was very skillfully and elegantly done.

EDIT: What's General Lee anyway?

Perhaps those drivers were just too stunned to react at all?

The video looks 100% real to me, especially by looking at the reflection from the wet ground and all the splashed water towards the end of the clip.

Ahh really!! LOL didn't notice the voice until you mention it.

So it was filmed in a somewhat controlled environment after all, but still the driver's skill is awesome.

Exactly, its a very controlled enviroment, as those cars were staged to be exactly there, but that was some awesome controlled drifiting, especially on wet pavement. I gotta give it to that guy, he's a good driver.

It was awesome. Sometimes, you don't need to use the gas to drift, so long as you're up to speed...you just have to pump the gas to keep the drift going like they did in that video.

On the other hand, I wonder what sort of suspension tuning they did on the car.
