I'm curious how many seconds he held that drift before the tires gave out.

That's a good question. I'm hoping a full video is forthcoming.

Innovation that excites?

I'm so happy you posted that supra video!
I wasn't impressed by that R35

I don't see what's not to be impressed by. 200mph is a feat in and of itself. But to then break traction at that speed and maintain control is both an example of great driving skill and engineering of the vehicle.

I guess it was the direction of the video. It was poorly put together.
I'm just old school and appreciate standard video without any s***.

Seriously? :eek: :eek:

I'd really worry about the tires catching a tiny bump in the pavement when sideways and flipping the car over many, many times ...!! :ohno:
