This car looks neat, not that most older mopar guys would like it but the you kids sure like the drift cars. http://wallls.com/download/35800/1280x1024/ A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel

Strap them in with Ken Block for a trip like THIS one and you'll see them freak out. I'm impressed with this stuff. It is much harder to wheel a car like this than to keep the car straight for 1600 feet or to make left turn after left turn after left turn... I've been doing stuff like this off road for 30 years. Doing it on a paved surface is a whole 'nuther game. Major skills are needed to go this fast sideways without cracking up.

Gawd, what a troll like little car. Quote: Anyone drift an old mopar? This car looks neat, not that most older mopar guys would like it but the you kids sure like the drift cars. Mopar does have a pro drift Viper and Challenger, both new, however. I believe there is a group in Sweden that does some classic Mopar drifting for fun. Nothing in the pro ranks though. For anyone to do this though, you need to look at the car as disposable, like any other contact racing, such as Saturday night bullrings. That's probably a big reason why you don't see many classics doing these things, and certainly won't see a vintage mopar in the mix. Although with Dynacorn, '69 Camaros could join up and play.

It didn't occur to me until then that the mortality rate of race/competition type cars is pretty low. Good point. I'm not willing to beat up any Mopar that is restorable....except for maybe a 4 door Aspen or Volare.

Patch it all together and it looks like he never stopped moving. That right turn after the jump WAS amazing. For a laugh, on youtube, check "Drifting idiot". Some dork gets out of his car while it is spinning a donut, then the car runs over him!

Every morning @ 5 am for two weeks they barricaded a small section of the course & ran that section of the course half a dozen times... Crazy part, the city permit was only $100.00...

Look at all the marks on the street in his videos, his talent isnt anything to shout about. I believe he even tried to compete in the WRC and wrecked ALOT. Here is a video with way better sound and a driver that only needed ONE take. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72hTSFkYVAo Mopar to the bone!!!

Anyone that can compete head to head with Rhys Millen and come out on top has to be skilled. The video link with him on Mulholland is impressive. The V8 in that car is sweet symphony compared to the fart canned Ford driven by Ken Block. However..... I agree with Pale Roader: No matter how many takes were needed, the moves made with the Ford are spectacular. The precision of the sliding turns and the control within the tight barricades is nothing short of amazing.
