    Threw together a video for a few reasons:

    One, I don't have any videos of my bro and I drifting in the same footage so this is the closest we'll get with him being stationed in Japan and all.

    Two, wanted to show where the "bug" comes from, although I'm a little more adamant about progressing through the "pro" leagues.

    Three, he's got more experience and drive-time, so I take a lot from him, kinda wanted to show the comparison between the two, but didn't get too far into THAT because that would be another video in and of itself.

    Four . . .well . . .above all else . . .it's about time we see some crazy-fun drifting from the OUTSIDE this time, LOL! I know everytime I get a video going it's an "over-the-shoulder" view, sooo this is a good change, I think.

    It's also a preview of what 2009 will hold in store, even MORE craziness than what 2008 held. This video was extremely fun to make and I hope it's just as fun to watch. Besides, it gives my big bro another reason to want to come back to the states . . .HAHAHAHAHA!

    Here's the vid!

    He's got the GTR? That thing looks wicked.

    I think if I had to build a drift car, I'd pick an older Mustang up. Cheap parts, cheaper engines, and way easier to burn up tires than using these little four cylinder japanese engines.

    Yeah, but far worse handling, sloppy chassis, horrible steering angle, solid rear end that moves about when you're in a slide . . .

    The money that Japanese cars have put into them on power, American cars have to almost double it in handling modifications. So it's a balancing act. LOL! I really wish I had an S14, I'd take the deficit in power to get a superior chassis setup, more steering angle and superior handling. HAHAHAHA!

    PS: Oh, before I forget, it's a GTS25-t, still has the RB25DETT, just gets the RWD setup as opposed to the AWD. Ultimate for driftage!
