What a waste.

I love the front end plow. Reminds of an autocross event where drifters were allowed. A driver in a 240 'drifted' through all the turns with his front end.

sure this wasn't a publicity stunt for a movie?..... It almost worked for redline.

I used to think drifting was kind of dumb too...

BEFORE I saw it live at the last Long Beach Grand Prix...

Watching it in person gave me a new respect for it...really loud and wild and exciting. When the pros do it...its worth it...very cool to watch.

Actually, I heard it was his friend from Denmark behing the wheel and that he mistakenly pressed the clutch instead of the brakes.

I am open to what people want to do with their rides. I took #2 choice of a 1998 240SX SE when I was on the hunt for a 88/89 952. Down here in Palm Beach they come up alot with under 30k on the clock even.

The problem I found was either they wanted $35k+ for them or a fair price but the interiors were sun-aged. Pricing out the dash and trim was pretty shocking.

Drifting is fun, it's expensive in both mistakes and tires.

Agreed. I saw a demo at PIR featuring the current D1 champ. Those drivers had phenomenal car control.
