I could not tell if it was rear, front or all wheel drive, but that driver is awsome! Especially at 4:28....Tim

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.
We didn't call it drifting back in the day.
Lets see, there was 'power sliding', 'hanging out the rear', 'loosin it, then catchin it' and such.

Yes, your car can do that. Just add hand lever turning brakes and drive it like its a disposable Ford Fiesta. Gawd, what a troll like little car. Quote:

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.

A point was made about treating these cars as disposable. 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.
I currently drift a AE86 with a lexus v8 swap, I think my next car will be a 71-75 duster/dart seeing how they're still pretty cheap and lightweight and amd pretty much makes all the panels you need...

Like any other movie, I'm sure there were multiple "takes" on some of the stunts. 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!
My neighbor was part of the crew that set up the barricades for filming... 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... But conforming to the safety requirements cost a little more..
They buzzed that hyperactive lawnmower through a residential neighborhood at 5AM...??? No one complained...??? hahahaha

I dont want to sound negative,but, I think Ken Block is a rich wannabe driver with an excellent film crew. 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!!!
