Or the fact that the guy doing the camera work is breathing in all that dirt!! Still a decent video.

lol thanks guys, interesting responses. I've done rally and autocross events, i go out to dirt roads almost every day. the physics of driving is similar to concrete except you don't need to go nearly as fast and its "safer" as in no other people on the road and not likely to get caught. If you guys didn't like this you definitely don't want to see what I can do on concrete w/ my suspension on stiff : )

I know the limits of my car, and everything I did was far from it, felt completely in control at all times. Also, how else do you learn how to really drive?? Thought you guys would enjoy seeing an sc actually doing something.

also, the video appears we are going slow, I'd say depending on the turn ranged from 60-85mph.

Naw, see you are in a special class here. You are a do'er. You go out and DO. Majority of these kids on this site are waxers. They buy the JDM drift sticker, they put the advans on and stretch their tires, then they go sit in a parking lot.

You are more of a talent that drives your car. I don't see any $4,000 drift machine body kit on your car, nor do I see bronze dipped JDM wannabe wheels.

Though I still don't love the idea of the SC being used as a drift platform vehicle just because the *** will come out from under it like you're on wet glass, at least you're out doing it instead of sitting here waxing your wheels talking about it.
