Badass! Is the guy still using the auto transmission? I saw a drift video once of a dude in a 1st gen Aristo drifting through the mountains on auto transmission and he was basically just going from gear 1, 2 and lots of e-brake use.....

Wow looks like the real deal aristo! If it was auto, i couldn't imagine the difficulties doing that drift w/ the foot pedal e-brake.
