ComicArtist Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Cool. Needs higher entry speeds though, thats why each drift is likes 10 feet long. Also, needs some work on transitioning. I wish more people drifted 510's though. Quote Link to comment

Siempreloco Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Professional vs kid from Mcminnville.........not really much of a contest..... He's not really a pro, he just built his car as he went on, he drifted for nothing and pretty much still does, i don't think hes ever been paid, and if he has it wasn't much, he was just lucky enough to be seen by some sponsors at competitions while he was kicking 240 and beemer kid's asses. Hes a really cool guy, and that t bird is the cleanest drift slut around, I don't think he's ever even scraped it, even going all out, and by far it's the nicest looking t bird i've seen from this era.

datzenmike Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 150 seconds long first 115 seconds are shots of sponsor logos, rims & tires, dash. Last 20 seconds closing credits. 15 seconds of driving Lot of feathers and not much chicken. Quote Link to comment

Look at the other videos I posted.. that one is mostly about seeing his car, the others are solid footage of drifting.. Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've always thought this was the most bas-ass drift car ever. I'd love to see the torque figures for this diesel. He's running a Scania semi truck turbo in there. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I had an STP sticker on my Dart back in the day, didn't mean shit. You could plaster your 610 with logos (shudder) for a drifter look. Haha, you're not madder than a wet hen, are you Mike? (Lets see how many fowl puns we can come up with!) :P I read the replies and posts and sometimes I'll watch the vids on drifting but seems like figure skating to me. Not really a sport if it's judged by style and the amount of smoke you can make is it? It isn't driving, which requires speed and control of a vehicle but more of piloting a deliberately induced out of control vehicle. ...and I shouldn't even comment on what others find as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Run along now and have fun, I'll just sit here in my rocking chair..... Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i was referring to the fact dude said he was sponsored unless he meant he had an AA sponsor Quote Link to comment

They usually look at me funny. But the first video was someone having fun with their 510, which I applaud! 1 Quote Link to comment

ComicArtist Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 My main problem with the first video is that he never initiates a slide until he's halfway into the turn. Means he's relying too much on clutch kicking and torque, instead of momentum. I'd be more impressed if he used feint/ebrake to get sideways right before the turn started, and used the throttle to maintain the drift during the entire curve. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh for Pete's sake, it's just someone having fun in the rain with their 510, it's not a drift car. Unless you were referring to the later videos? 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I got it now.... fun in the snow/rain is drifting, but with snow and rain. Back in '75 I had an old '68 dime. I was out having fun with a friend one foggy spring night and ended up in Sunderland ripping around. Ended up at the fairgrounds and what the hell, drove onto the oval track where they show horses, tractor pulls and w/e. Well it was covered in wet snow and fog so I gave 'er around the track past the grandstand sideways and all around the track. L16 singing a third gear song on a loose muffler. Good times Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 the 510 looks like a Sunday drive to me Quote Link to comment
